First Annual Education Awards Were a Success!
First Annual Education Awards Were a Success!
On August 25th, THEARI held our first annual Education Awards; as a virtual community event . Along with our event sponsors, St. Anthony Health Foundation, Donor Alliance, Anatomy in Clay, and Peer Assistance Services, we distributed $16,000 across 4 different award categories to 19 students, scholars, and healthcare professionals! It was an energizing experience, and we are grateful to the partners and community members who sponsored, donated, and attended this special event. There were 54 people in attendance to recognize excellence and dedication in healthcare pathways. As a means of embracing diversity and addressing barriers, awardees may use funds to support educational pursuits in a manner they deem supportive.
We are proud to present to you the 2021 Education Award Recipients!
