“Since 2018, the Taylorville Memorial Hospital Foundation has awarded nearly $83,000 in funding to students pursuing healthcare degrees.  This program is a win for the student, the hospital, our patients, and our larger community.  Investing in education to strengthen local healthcare is possible thanks to the generosity of our donors,” said Raedena Ryan, executive director of the Taylorville Memorial Hospital Foundation. Healthcare Career Educational Grants are funded by proceeds from the Taylorville Memorial Hospital Foundation annual Signature Event and the Katie McCarty Nursing Excellence Fund.
