NORTH CONWAY, NH - Despite a brief interruption from Mother Nature, supporters of MaineHealth Memorial Hospital came together in a big way at this year's annual golf tournament. Their efforts raised more than $50,000 to support the creation of the Mary Vigeant Scholarship Fund for nursing education.
"We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support shown by our golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners," said MaineHealth Memorial Hospital President Tricia G. Costigan. "Their generosity will have a lasting impact on nursing education and help invest in the next generation of healthcare professionals."
The Mary Vigeant Scholarship Fund recognizes the dedicated and continued service of Mary Vigeant, NP to MaineHealth Memorial Hospital patients and care team members. The fund will support high school students in the Mount Washington Valley pursuing higher education in the health care field.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to our sponsors for their generous support and partnership. Their contributions play a vital role in helping us achieve our fundraising goals and advance our mission.
