Please join us in congratulating Angelique Ogden-Jarata, this year’s recipient of the Marc Abar Memorial Scholarship for Clinical Education — one of the many ways the CEI Foundation invests in our team and the future of senior healthcare.

Angelique began her CEI journey 22 years ago as an Activity Coordinator, and through hard work and dedication, advanced to become a Clinical LVN. Now, she’s taking the next step in her professional journey — pursuing her Registered Nurse (RN) degree.

During a special ceremony at PACE San Leandro, Angelique received a $5,000 scholarship check from the CEI Foundation. CEI Foundation Director Liz Anders, along with Nakia Miller, proudly presented the award in recognition of her hard work and passion for service.

💙 When you support the CEI Foundation, you’re helping dedicated healthcare professionals like Angelique continue their education — strengthening the compassionate care that defines CEI. To donate, https://ceifoundation.elders.org/mark-abar-rn-memorial-scholarship-fund/
