We recently hosted our annual scholarship ceremony in partnership with the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County, recognizing an inspiring group of local high school students pursuing careers in healthcare. Made possible through the generosity of the medical staff of HCA Florida JFK Hospital and HCA Florida JFK North Hospital, these scholarships represent a meaningful investment in the future of our community.
Dr. Teresita Casanova, President of the Medical Staff, and Dr. Jack Zeltzer addressed the students, reminding them that they are the future of healthcare and encouraging them to one day return to care for the community they call home. This program is about more than financial support; medical staff members build ongoing relationships with the students, offering mentorship, guidance, and support when needed.
As one student shared, “This scholarship not only eases the financial burden of my education, but motivates me to keep striving toward my goals—knowing that professionals in healthcare believe in my future.”
We are proud to continue supporting these incredible students as they take the next steps toward making a difference in the lives of others.
