“One of the best things about being a community hospital is when we get the chance to ‘give back’ to the community,” Natalie Head, Anderson Hospital public relations director, said. “Our Auxiliary and medical staff do that every year through the scholarship programs they created for area students seeking education and careers in healthcare. This year a total of 12 students earned scholarships worth $1,000 each to be used for their education seeking healthcare careers.”
