The St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation is proud to announce the 2024 recipients of the Marilyn Brown Nursing Scholarship, which each year provides $2,500 to colleagues who have been accepted into a nursing program of study.
Scholarship recipients can be nurses who are studying to advance their career or colleagues who are studying to become a nurse.
One of the 2024 recipients is Caneisha Appleby of Athens.
Appleby is in the process of obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Chamberlain University. She began working at St. Mary’s Hospital in 2016 on the Neuroscience Unit and currently serves as a Team Lead for the Post Anesthesia Care Unit and Preop Holding. Appleby is passionate about nursing education and equipping nursing with the tools and resources to provide the highest quality care.
“There isn’t any other profession I would rather be in, nor would I like to be doing it in any other hospital. St. Mary’s is home,” Appleby said.
She plans to obtain her master’s and doctorate degrees in nursing and would love to be a nursing educator one day, she hopes at St. Mary’s.
The scholarship was established by Marilyn Brown, a grateful patient who was inspired to create the scholarship by the skill, tenderness and reverence she experienced from St. Mary’s nurses. She hopes other grateful patients will follow in her footsteps to help even more St. Mary’s colleagues become nurses or advance their nursing careers.
“We are deeply grateful to Mrs. Brown for her generosity and commitment to advancing high level care and higher level caring at St. Mary’s,” said Anneliese Woodall, Manager of Donor Relations for St. Mary’s Health Care System. “Her ongoing contributions to our ministry reflect how much difference our nurses make in our patients’ outcomes and experiences. We are honored to be able to help her realize her goal of building the next generation of skilled, compassionate nurses at St. Mary’s.”
The next application season will open in January 2025.
