The CHI Mercy Health Foundation Nursing Advancement Scholarship was started in 2005. The goal was for the nursing staff at Mercy Hospital to raise $500 a year and the CHI Mercy Health Foundation would match it, creating a $1000 scholarship, awarded annually. This year the nursing staff raised enough money to offer $2000 in scholarships! These scholarships are available to any local student pursuing education for nursing advancement.
