HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION AND MEDTRONIC AWARD $15,000 GRANT TO BOOST LOCAL
HEALTHCARE WORKER PIPELINE

Money will create 15-30 scholarships at local junior college

June 15, 2021 – The Healthcare Foundation Northern Sonoma County (HCF) has awarded a $15,000 grant to support an innovative program at a local college designed to train bilingual healthcare workers for the future. The grant, made possible by a $10,000 charitable contribution from Medtronic Santa Rosa, will support the 85-student Health Occupation Preparation Education (HOPE) program at Santa Rosa Junior College in Santa Rosa.

HOPE Program Coordinator Daisy Cardenas said the grant will enable SRJC to provide 15-30 scholarships for books and living expenses to HOPE students, easing the burden of pursuing a degree in the medical field. She noted that to this point, the program only has had funding to award two scholarships per year.
