Dr. Todd Dillon and Dr. William Remington, Kosciusko Community Hospital physicians, presented a $50,000 donation to Kosciusko County Community Foundation for the creation of the KCH Medical Staff Scholarship Fund on behalf of the medical staff at KCH.
The purpose of the fund is to provide scholarships to students to pursue a two-year, four-year or graduate degree in a medical field area of study that involves direct patient care. Applicants should be graduating seniors or currently enrolled college students from Kosciusko County, must maintain at least a B GPA and should demonstrate community engagement through volunteerism, employment or extracurricular activities.
“As a collaborative team, the KCH Medical Staff discussed the importance of supporting local individuals who are interested in committing their lives to serving others through a medical profession. We are establishing a scholarship at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation to encourage individuals to pursue their dreams that will make a big difference in society. We can give scholarship recipients our collective ongoing support,” said Dr. Dillon, who serves as KCH medical staff treasurer.
Established in 1976, the KCH medical staff is composed of family healthcare physicians, allied health providers and specialists. The team cares for community members located in Kosciusko County and the surrounding communities from 19 outpatient locations and the Kosciusko Community Hospital inpatient setting.
Since 1968, Kosciusko County Community Foundation Inc. has helped donors achieve their charitable dreams. The Community Foundation is a public charity that grants about $2.5 million annually in the areas of education, health, arts and culture, recreation, civic projects, environment and human services. Gifts made to the Community Foundation are tax-deductible. For more information, visit www.KCFoundation.org, call 574-267-1901 or visit 102 E. Market Street, Warsaw.
