Healthcare Scholarship Program
For more than 35 years Donalsonville Hospital has been helping the next generation of healthcare professionals gain the education they need to return to our hospital and make a difference in rural Seminole County, GA through our Healthcare Scholarship Program.
We are proud to have given this opportunity to 100 healthcare providers within a range of specialties including primary care physicians, nursing, laboratory technicians, radiology technicians, medical records, and maintenance.
We are honored to have recruited 11 hometown physicians who applied for our scholarship program, attained their medical degree and returned home to practice. In 2017, we welcomed back two local Donalsonville raised family medicine physicians and one OB/GYN who interned at our hospital during medical school. In 2018, a general surgeon returned home to practice.
Since 1982, more than 3M in scholarship and loan repayment dollars have been utilized to bring much-needed healthcare professionals and critical staffing to this rural Georgia community.
LPNs provide basic nursing care under the supervision of an RN or other healthcare practitioner. The scope of LPN duties may include:
- Feeding, dressing or bathing patients
- Monitoring patient vital signs, including blood pressure and temperature
- Applying or changing bandages, cleaning wounds, or inserting catheters
- Keeping records of patient health
- Talking to patients about how they are feeling and passing concerns to other practitioners
