In 2004, the Saint Francis Memorial Hospital Auxiliary began raising money to financially support students pursuing a career in the health care field. The Saint Francis Foundation has since managed this important effort to support students beginning or furthering their health care studies. In the last 15 years, Saint Francis has proudly awarded 55 scholarships totaling more than $85,000.
