Lisa Weill has been awarded an $800.00 scholarship from the Washington County Community Foundation Jinny Scifres Memorial Scholarship Fund. After starting a family, Jinny made the tough decision to return to school and study nursing. After graduation, she began her nursing career at Washington County Memorial Hospital as an Emergency Room Nurse. Jinny’s love of nursing eventually lead her to several promotions and back to school once again. She eventually became the Director of Patient Care Services. Jinny died in the fall of 2000, after bravely battling bone cancer. Her family and many friends established this scholarship fund in her memory, to assist others who, like Jinny, return to school to study nursing after starting a family or career. Weill plans on attending Galen College of Nursing to receive her Associate Science of Nursing degree. “My desire is to help others that are hurting” explains Weill. “I feel like nursing is a calling not just a job.”
