Local students benefit from nursing scholarships

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — Two families with ties to Wayne Memorial Hospital and a desire to assist individuals pursuing a career in the field of nursing have helped make the road to higher education a reality for four graduates of the 2018 Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) Nursing Program. Mandy Batalin, Kim Verderber, Jennifer Stitt and Kathryn Nielsen were selected as recipients of the Patton Memorial Nursing Scholarship and the Cathy Collins Scholarship. All four graduated this May from the LCCC program at Wayne Memorial Hospital.

The Patton Memorial Nursing Scholarship, an endowment in honor of Dr. Howard R. and Marian C. Patton by their children, has benefited nursing students since 2010. The Cathy Collins Scholarship, now in its second year, was created in memory of long-time Wayne Memorial nurse and LCCC nursing instructor who passed away in 2015.
