Northwest Texas Hospital Association and PMC Team up for scholarships
Parmer Medical Center is pleased to announce that three additional scholarships have been awarded to area high school 2019 seniors. The Northwest Texas Hospital Association selected Amelia Sandoval, Marisol Gomez Marruro, and Vanessa Chavez each as recipients of a $500 scholarship. Their names were submitted to Northwest by PMC and they were selected to receive the funds.
Parmer Medical Center is matching the scholarships so the students will receive $1000 towards their studies in the medical field. The three ladies were runners-up for the 2019 PMC Community Scholarships awarded at the end of the school year. The 2019 Community Scholarship winners were Adriana Ortiz-Carrillo, Brenda Jaramillo, Damian Rodriguez and Mireya Rodriguez who each received $2500 from Parmer Medical Center.
The Northwest Texas Hospital Association established the scholarship program in order to assist smaller communities in the state in their efforts to recruit health care professionals to work in rural hospitals. The Association awarded a total of $10,000 this year to students nominated by member hospitals. Each hospital provides the matching scholarship amount for a total of $500 per student. The Northwest Texas Hospital Association is the oldest association of its kind in the state and is composed of hospitals, business and others interested in health care and continuing access to health care. The membership territory covers the area from the panhandle in the north, to Dallas in the East, El Paso in the West and Kerrville in the South.
We congratulate all these fine students for their efforts.
