We ended April on a high note as we enjoyed our first Scholarship Luncheon!

Guests heard heartfelt words from our scholarship recipients, while enjoying a wonderful lunch prepared by our own dietary department. While we shined a spotlight on our recipients, the real highlight was Lora Tschappatt and the scholarship that was created in her honor. Lora was a steady presence in our halls, and when we lost her, a group of her supporters wanted her name to carry on. The Lora Tschappatt Memorial Nursing Scholarship has since been awarded to numerous nursing students pursuing their healthcare careers. Many of those students are now helping our patients. What a legacy it is to honor and remember Lora. ❤️

We graciously thank our luncheon sponsors! We couldn't do this work without them.

We are hosting our inaugural ✨ Scholarship Luncheon ✨, where we will raise funds for nursing 🩺 students from our community who are preparing to enter a profession defined by service, skill, and compassion.

Our rural area continues to rely on dedicated nurses to care for our families, neighbors, and friends during life’s most critical moments. At the same time, many promising students face financial barriers that can make pursuing a nursing degree challenging. Our hope is that our scholarships help remove some of those barriers and ensure that capable, committed students can complete their education and serve our community with excellence. 🧡

Won't you join us in this fundraising effort for our scholarship program? We'd love to have you!

Tables are on sale now. 🤗

Gonzales Healthcare Systems Foundation recently received a donation from Cadence Bank, benefiting the Lora Tschappatt Memorial Nursing Scholarship fund. This fund provides financial help to local nursing students working hard to earn their degree. We believe in growing our own, and with the help from Cadence Bank, we will be able to continue to help those students.

Our community thrives on neighbors helping neighbors, and we are grateful for all the neighbors that support our Foundation. We thank Cadence Bank for their donation!

Presenting the check on behalf of Cadence Bank is Darla Machacek, and accepting is Foundation Board President Carolyn Orts. Others pictured are GHS Foundation board members Brandon Anzaldua, Barbara Koricanek, Dora Noyola, Robert Camarillo, and Foundation Manager Holly Danz.
