HOSPITAL,
AUXILIARY PRESENT TEEN VOLUNTEER SCHOLARSHIPS
UPMC Northwest and UPMC
Northwest Auxiliary have awarded this year’s Teen Volunteer
Scholarships to Cynthia-Sue Curran, a 2007 graduate of Christian
Life Academy, and Elizabeth Serbati, a member of the Oil City High
School class of 2007. Both scholarship recipients will major in
nursing, Cynthia at Clarion University and Elizabeth at Indiana
University of Pennsylvania. Each will receive $500.
The hospital and auxiliary
established the scholarship in 2002 to recognize local high school
graduates who have been active volunteers at UPMC Northwest and
to encourage young people to join the hospital’s teen volunteer
corps. Selection of the honorees is based on performance as a volunteer,
participation in other activities, references, and academic performance.
Cynthia-Sue logged more
than 105 hours of volunteer service at the UPMC Northwest Coffee
Bar, while Elizabeth had 115 hours of service with several departments,
most recently the Information Desk.
