Women’s Wellness provides $15k in awards
Posted: November 1, 2011
ATSU’s Women’s Wellness program members announced the recipients of the First Annual Women’s Wellness Program Awards. Funds were made available from charitable gifts received from members to provide ATSU programmatic awards through a competitive process.
Applications initially were reviewed by the Women’s Wellness Awards & Scholarship Committee, with finalists presenting to members of the Women’s Wellness program at an on-campus session. Women’s Wellness members then voted for program awards that best aligned with ATSU’s mission. More than $15,000 in combined funding was awarded.
Funded recipients include $3,000 to the BRITE program, which provides dental patient transportation to ASDOH’s dental clinic; $4,000 to purchase a birthing simulator for ASHS’ Physician Assistant program; and $8,500 for a hand-held X-ray system for ASDOH students and faculty who visit rural villages in Alaska to provide care to underserved populations, particularly schoolage children.
