McPherson Hospital Announces Hess Scholarship Recipients
The Evaline Hess Health Education and Scholarship Trust has awarded 19 scholarships for local students pursuing education in the health care industry. Each year, a local trustee board selects from a pool of both new applicants and previous candidates and recipients. The trustees share control of the trust with the McPherson Hospital Board of Trustees and the McPherson Hospital Volunteers in McPherson.
George and Evaline Hess had an interest in advancing health education. The original trust set forth by Evaline Hess has been awarding scholarships since 1980, helping generations of students achieve their educational goals.
