“The Foundation is proud to offer assistance to students in our community who are studying to pursue careers in health care. It starts with a scholarship and it is our hope that recipients will return to CalvertHealth as healthcare professionals dedicated to providing exceptional care. Health care is a rewarding field, and there is a definite need for growth in healthcare providers,” said CalvertHealth Foundation Board Chair Lynette Entzian.

The Allied Health scholarship is open to residents of Calvert, Charles, St. Mary’s and Anne Arundel counties; applicants must have been a resident of Maryland for at least one year. The E.
