Article Presented By Adena Health…
(Chillicothe) – Two dozen area high school students from across Adena Health’s service area got a nice leg up on their upcoming college careers with the help of the Adena Health Foundation.
The 24 graduating seniors each received $5,000 in scholarships and were honored during a special ceremony this week at the Carlisle Building in downtown Chillicothe.
The scholarships, awarded through the Adena Health Foundation’s Hope for our Future initiative, were presented to students of high academic achievement who are interested in pursuing a career affiliated in some way with health care. That includes both the clinical side of the profession and the non-clinical side.

The scholarship opportunities are made possible through the fundraising efforts of the Adena Health Foundation and Adena Volunteer Advisory Council; the assistance of the physicians, advance practice providers, and other employees of Adena; and contributions from members of the community to one of the several available scholarship funds that make up the Dr. Jack Berno Hope for our Future initiative.
“This initiative is designed to help foster the development of those talented young men and women in areas served by Adena with the hope that they will one day choose to further their careers at Adena,” said Robin Berno, Adena Health Foundation director. “It’s about keeping that talent close to home and helping to support the health care professionals of tomorrow.”
In order to be considered for a scholarship, graduating seniors had to meet specific academic standards; complete an essay; submit a transcript, college acceptance and two letters of reference; and be pursuing an education in a field related to health care. A scholarship committee then reviewed the applications to arrive at the winners.
