Congrats to Oakwood's high school volunteer scholarship winners

Another school year has come and gone and, like the great educational instutitions in our community, we've had to say "So long, and thanks" to some pretty special people: our high school volunteers.

Oakwood regularly provides scholarships to some of our high school volunteers, based on the number of volunteer hours they complete, their grade point average and an essay. This year, 10 students earned the $1,000 scholarships.

"We are proud to be able to support these students’ continuing education in honor of their contributions to Oakwood," said Oakwood CEO Brian Connolly.

The winners are:

 Oakwood Heritage Hospital

• Morelia Adrianzen: graduated from Harry S. Truman High School; plans to attend Eastern Michigan University

Oakwood Hospital & Medical Center

• Laylia Ali: graduated from Riverside Academy West; plans to attend Wayne State University for nursing

• Hager Alkhafaji: graduated from Dearborn High School; plans to attend Wayne State University

• Asma Baban: graduated from Fordson High School; still deciding which college to attend in the fall

• Zeina Fouani: graduated from Dearborn High School; plans to attend University of Michigan

Oakwood Southshore Medical Center

• Nick Hall: graduated from Gabriel Richard High School; plans to attend Michigan State University

• Eli Jarjous: graduated from Trenton High School; plans to attend Wayne State University

"We appreciate the part they and their fellow high school volunteers play in providing a great patient experience to all who come to us for care," Connolly said.

Thanks again, and have a great summer!
