WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Hospital Auxiliary is giving out two $1,000 scholarships for students entering the medical field. Students can either be from the high school, or home schooled. Funds for the scholarship were raised through bake sales and donations. Most recently, Dr. Greenbrier Almond, in memory of his wife, gave a $5,000 donation. Dr. Greenbrier Almond’s wife, Dr. Araceli Ganan Almond, was born in the Philippines in 1942, and came to the United States in 1970, where she discovered a new life as a medical resident, physician, wife, and mother. According to God’s Boot Camp, the memoir about her life written by her as told to Dr. Greenbrier Almond, “she had a strong relationship with God, and through her many hardships and joys, she learned to trust and obey him.” Applications for the scholarship can be picked up at St. Joseph’s Hospital’s information desk in the main lobby, at Buckhannon-Upshur High School, or on the high school website. Applicants must be a resident of Upshur County, graduate with a GPA of at least 3.5, and be enrolling in a healthcare career program from an accredited facility. The students will be awarded the scholarships at the Auxiliary Spring Annual Board Meeting Luncheon at St. Joseph’s Hospital on May 21st. These students will also be eligible to apply for the state scholarship for the Auxiliary West Virginia Hospital Association (AWVHA).

WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Hospital recognized National Donate Life Month with a flag-raising and presentation for CORE, the Center for Organ Recovery and Education. Through commitment to donation, last year WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Hospital had 3 tissue donors, healing up to 225 lives, and 3 cornea donors, giving sight to six individuals. The hospital’s cardiac rehab department also plays a huge role in keeping local transplant recipients healthy by maintaining their health and well-being. Prior to the flag-raising, a ceremony was held with speakers that included Skip Gjolberg, President and CEO of WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Hospital; Annie Thorne, the hospital CORE representative; Jeremy Zeiders, the PSL/Donor Family Supports Coordinator for CORE; liver donor recipient Joe Malcolm, who was accompanied by his wife Debora Malcolm and son Joseph Malcolm; and Suzanne Mates, accompanied by her husband Rodney Mates, the parents of Joe’s liver donor. Nationally, approximately 100,000 people are waiting for an organ transplant, with 500 of those individuals living in our own state, and at least 17 people will die each day without receiving the transplant they so desperately need. Someone is added to the national organ transplant list every 10 minutes, but registering to become an organ, tissue, and cornea donor takes less than one minute. One organ donor can save up to 8 lives, and one tissue donor can help more than 75 people. All major religions support donation as a final act of compassion and generosity. Anyone can be a potential organ donor regardless of age, race, or medical history. Donors can place the designation on their driver’s license or state identification card when they receive or renew their license or ID. You can also register at registerme.org/wvumedicine.
