Piedmont Awards Scholarships to Students of Hospital Employees

The Piedmont Newnan Hospital Department of Volunteers recently awarded $10,000 in scholarships to students who are children or dependents of full-time and part-time Piedmont Newnan Hospital employees.

“It is an honor to be able to assist the children and dependents of our hospital employees with their education costs,” said Jeannie Johns, Piedmont Newnan volunteer coordinator and a member of the scholarship selection committee. “We receive numerous applications each year and it is a joy to read about the goals these young adults have and ways they will impact our communities in the future.”

The Piedmont Newnan Hospital Department of Volunteers Scholarship is funded by proceeds from the Poplar Shop gift shop and sales from events throughout the year and awarded to students pursing post high school education.

This year, five recipients were each awarded a $2,000 scholarship. The winners included:

• Omolade Adeniyi, daughter of Abimbola Adeniyi, 7 Med/Surg, attends the University of West Georgia and is pursuing a degree as a registered nurse.
