Two High School Seniors Win Jameson Health System Scholarship

New Castle , Pa. – May 28, 2008  –  Stephanie Horvath and Brittany Work are this year’s recipients of the Jameson Health System Scholarship Award.

Horvath, the daughter of Susan Horvath, patient care coordinator, 3 South West, plans to attend Thiel College in the fall to major in Pre-Pharmacy.  She will graduate from Mohawk High School this year.

Work is a student at Laurel High School and plans to attend Duquesne University to become a physician’s assistant.  She is the daughter of Dixie , business office employee, and Frank Work, who is employed in the engineering department at Jameson’s South Campus.

“These bright young ladies each exemplify the qualities of future leaders,” said Thomas White, president/CEO of Jameson Health System. “They have demonstrated a sincere commitment to their studies, athletic pursuits and to volunteering their time and talents in various capacities. These characteristics are precisely those which the Jameson Scholarship Award strives to encourage and recognize.”

Neil Chessin, vice president of operations, added, “Perhaps the most difficult task of the selection committee each year is choosing only two winners, and this year was no exception. All of our nominees are outstanding young people for so many reasons. They and their parents should all be extremely proud.”

Since 1996, Jameson Health System has awarded two $500 academic scholarships to individuals who are dependents of Jameson employees. The students must meet the criteria for outstanding academic achievement, extra-curricular activities and responses to two essay topics.
