NORTH ADAMS, Mass. - Twelve employees of Northern Berkshire Healthcare have been awarded scholarships to assist their continuing education in health care and related fields.
Rick Palmisano, President and CEO of Northern Berkshire Healthcare, joined Paul Donovan, D.O., president of the Medical Staff at North Adams Regional Hospital, and Billie Allard, RN, MS, Vice President of Patient Care Services, in awarding scholarships totaling more than $7,500 on Thursday, May 27. Palmisano noted that the award winners are pursuing further education in a variety of fields from advanced nursing degrees to accounting.
Recipients of Medical Staff scholarships included Melissa Colvin-North, Lisa Janovsky, Brenda McMahon, and Maris Owczarski. Dr. Donovan said the Medical Staff is pleased to support the efforts of colleagues, and that one-third of Medical Staff dues are used to fund scholarships.
Allard told the recipients “you will never feel so proud” than when they have completed their education. Allard noted that in addition to the Medical Staff scholarships, the ceremony honors several former hospital employees whose families established scholarships in their names, and in memory of individuals who received care at NARH.
The Lillian Liebich Memorial Scholarship Award, established by the Medical Staff at NARH in memory of a longtime director of medical records, was presented to Judy Babcock and Deborah Caron.
The Leonard & Edith Baldasarini Award was given to Laurie Rondeau and Joann Gauthier. The Katherine Bowes Scholarship was awarded to Maris Owczarski and Joann Gauthier.
The Howard Brookner Scholarship, given in honor of Brookner’s years of service on the NBH Board of Trustees, was awarded to Kayla Tooley and Emily Underwood, both employees of Sweetwood.
Jaymie Butler, an employee of the VNA & Hospice of Northern Berkshire, won the Mary Larter Scholarship.
