OMCHEALTHCARESCHOLARSHIPFUND

The OMC Foundation has announced that it has created a $500,000 scholarship program to help increase the number of healthcare workers in Clallam County, and to allow current OMC employees to further their education.

One of the biggest obstacles that current employees, adults who want to change careers, and students face when they want to enter or advance in the healthcare field is the cost. We want to take that out of the equation, as we plan on these being significant awards.

Growing the workforce is one of the the most significant challenges facing the healthcare industry and OMC today. By offering scholarships, we feel that we’ll be able to increase the potential employee pool that OMC can draw from. It will also help the rest of the industry in the County.

It is anticipated that half of the funds will go to employees seeking continued education in health care, while the other half will go to area students who want to take medical courses at Peninsula College. The Foundation plans to continue this program in the years to come.
