Chipper Hawthorne Memorial Scholarship

Nurses are the health care professionals who spend the most time with patients and their families during their hospital stay. In many ways, nurses end up being fitness coaches and cheerleaders, grief counselors and hand-holders for their patients and their patients' family through the emotional challenges.
