Little Falls Hospital, a subsidiary of the Bassett Healthcare Network, recently awarded the “Frederika Vickers Conrad and Dr. Joseph W. Conrad Scholarships” to six deserving students from the Little Falls and Dolgeville area.
Dr. Sue Conrad Quinby and Roger P. Quinby established the scholarship fund in 1973 in Memory of Frederika Vickers Conrad and her husband, Dr. Joseph W. Conrad. The Quinbys specified that the income from this fund must be used to award a scholarship to those persons interested in pursuing a career in medicine, paramedicine, nursing, laboratory, technical work, hospital administration or any allied health field, to be determined and approved by the Scholarship Committee of the Little Falls Hospital Board of Trustees.
“This year’s scholarship candidates were exceptional and among the most talented to ever apply,” said Tony DeLuca, Scholarship Chair. “We are happy to be able to assist them in achieving their goal of working within the healthcare profession and we wish them success.” “We are grateful to Dr. Sue Conrad Quinby and Roger P. Quinby for their generosity and continued support of the Frederika Vickers Conrad and Dr. Joseph W. Conrad Scholarship.”
The 2020 Scholarship Winners are Candice Sabatino, attending Elmira College majoring in physical therapy; Emily Gehring, attending LeMoyne College majoring in nursing; Leah Shepardson, attending Siena College majoring in nursing; Seth Rosario, attending Virginia Military Institute, majoring in biology; and Hanna Stack, attending Utica College; majoring in biology.
