JPMF Announces Karla Foster as Scholarship Recipient

Jess Parrish Medical Foundation awarded the 2014 Karla Foster, RN, Memorial Scholarship of $3,000 to Nicole Jordan. The scholarship was established by Doug Foster in loving memory of his wife, Karla, who was tragically killed on September 11, 2006 by a hit and run driver. Karla had been a nurse at Parrish Medical Center for more than 22 years.

“I'm sincerely grateful to Jess Parrish Medical Foundation for awarding me with this scholarship, which will help me pay for tuition and achieve my goal of becoming a Registered Nurse. Nursing is not a burden, but a passion and a calling. I am so honored to receive this scholarship and to carry on the legacy of Karla Foster through my commitment to compassionate and holistic nursing care," stated Jordan, bachelor’s degree student at Adventist University of Health Sciences.
