Logansport Memorial Hospital Foundation Scholarships Awarded
Logansport Memorial Hospital Foundation scholarships have been awarded. We have proudly presented them to exceptional students pursuing careers in the healthcare or medical fields. By providing students with these awards, it is our hope that they might return to our rural community to enjoy successful careers once they are finished with their education.
The Foundation reviewed several qualified applications this year, and awarded three $1000 scholarships from the Community Education Fund. “We are pleased to assist these students in achieving such high academic aspirations,” commented Vicki Byrd,
Vice-President of Planning and Development for Logansport Memorial Hospital. “We believe they will do well in their future endeavors and we are glad to be part of that.”
Alyssa Reichel is a senior at Logansport High School and will attend Indiana University Bloomington in the fall to study nursing.
Elizabeth Bingaman is a senior at Pioneer High School and will attend Purdue University in the fall. Her career goal is to someday become an orthopedic surgeon.
Katelyn Miller is a senior at Caston High School and will attend Purdue University in the fall. Her career goal is to someday become a nurse practitioner.
LMHF would like to thank the community members, donors, and our hospital employees, who make it possible to provide scholarships like these because of their generosity. If you would like to make a contribution to the Community Education Fund in support of future scholarships, please contact the Foundation at 574.753.1595 or by emailing vbyrd@logansportmemorial.org.

Logansport Memorial Hospital planning to celebrate National Hospital Week!
A hospital is more than a place where people go to heal. It is part of the community that fosters health and represents hope. From providing treatment and comfort to the sick, to welcoming new life into the world, hospitals are central to a healthy and optimistic community. That’s the message that organizers are touting with the 2013 National Hospital Week theme, “A Guiding Light for Changing Times.”
The event theme is the centerpiece of a promotional campaign aimed at uniting healthcare facilities across the country during this year’s May 12-18 celebration.
“We look at National Hospital Week as a celebration of our people,” comments David Ameen, President and CEO of Logansport Memorial Hospital. “We’re extremely proud of each member of our staff and we recognize the role they have in extending a sense of trust to our patients and our community.”
As the nation’s largest healthcare event, National Hospital Week dates back to 1921 when it was suggested by a magazine editor who hoped a community-wide celebration would alleviate public fears about hospitals. The celebration was launched in Chicago and succeeded in promoting trust and goodwill among members of the public. It eventually spread to facilities across the country.
At Logansport Memorial Hospital, we take great pride in the work that our employees do for our patients and for our community. As National Hospital Week begins, so does our celebration of them!
