Stewart Memorial Healthcare Auxiliary President Pam MacKinnon was pleased to present the first Dr. Joyce Madigane Memorial Scholarships to Sydney Ellis from Northam (centre) and Shelby-Lynn Arsenault from Lennox Island (right). Both women are studying at the UPEI School of Nursing.
President MacKinnon said there had been many great applications, and encouraged those who weren’t successful this time to try again next year.
Dr. Joyce Madigane served the Tyne Valley area as a family doctor and medical director of Stewart Memorial Hospital for nearly 40 years before her death in 2014. Dr. Madigane was always very encouraging of young people who were considering a career in healthcare. The Auxiliary created the scholarship to keep alive the memory of her service to the community.
