AMC Foundation Awards Health Care Scholarships

SARANAC LAKE - The Adirondack Medical Center Foundation awarded $10,500 in scholarships to students pursuing education for careers in the health care field.

The three scholarship winners were each awarded $3,500 to assist in their tuition costs.  All three are non-traditional students receiving their education at North Country Community College.

The scholarship awardees are:

• Cynthia Strack - Cynthia has been an AMC employee for five years, starting out as a nursing assistant, and is currently a unit clerk.  When not at work, she is pursuing her degree as a Registered Nurse.
• Elise Ferguson - Elise is pursuing her degree in Radiologic Technology, and is the daughter of an AMC employee.  A Radiologic Technologist is an allied-health professional who performs diagnostic imaging examinations.
• Jepper Devlin - Jepper is pursuing a degree in the Registered Nurse program.

Cynthia noted that the scholarship was a big help financially in pursuing her dream of becoming a nurse.  She said she enjoys working on the medical and surgical floors at AMC, and has about nine months to go in the nursing program at NCCC.  She hopes to continue working at AMC once she receives her degree.

The AMC Foundation is committed to improving the health and quality of life for the residents and visitors served by the Medical Center.  This includes providing individuals with the tools and resources needed to pursue educational opportunities for a career in health care.  A critical component of providing quality health care is well trained caregivers, and this scholarship program is just one of the many ways the AMC Foundation enhances the dedicated workforce delivering health care to the Tri-Lakes region.
