The Heart of Healthcare Nursing Scholarship was recently established by Onondaga County under the leadership of County Executive Ryan McMahon in partnership with the Allyn Family Foundation and the Central New York Community Foundation. Both locally and nationally, the healthcare sector is experiencing a severe shortage of nurses. This scholarship aims to address this issue in our community as the industry recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
