Ohio University College of
Osteopathic Medicine recently announced the recipients of this
year’s Jerry A. Zinni, D.O., Memorial Scholarship. This year,
the four recipients of the scholarship were first-year medical
student Gurbinder Singh of Macedonia; second-year medical
Crystal (Woodside) Joyce of Seven Hills; third-year
medical student Timothy Neely of Ravenna; and fourth-year
medical student Sana Hasan of North Royalton. The
scholarship, which is funded by the Northeastern Ohio Healthcare
Foundation, is a $10,000 award given to each of the four medical
students and may be used toward the cost of tuition, room and
board, textbooks and other educational related expenses.
“Ohio
University College of Osteopathic Medicine is most grateful and
appreciative of the generous philanthropic support from the
Northeastern Ohio Healthcare Foundation over the past years,”
said Sharon Zimmerman, the college’s director of medical
development and executive director of alumni affairs. “This
scholarship provides needed support and assists the college in
recruiting some of the best and brightest students in
Ohio.”
The Zinni Memorial Scholarship
is awarded to medical students from specific Northeastern Ohio
counties who meet the criteria for award.
The scholarship, which was
established in 2000, is named after Jerry A. Zinni, D.O., who in
1960 founded the not-for-profit Richmond Heights General
Hospital and was a leader and champion of the osteopathic
medical profession. The Northeastern Ohio Healthcare Foundation
carries on an essential part of the hospital’s original mission
and Zinni’s vision — helping disadvantaged patient populations,
improving community health care and furthering osteopathic
medical education.
