Siskiyou Community Health Center Donates 8K to RCC Foundation for Nursing
The Rogue Community College Foundation recently received an $8,000 donation from Siskiyou Community Health Center that helped put a quality stethoscope in the hands of each new RCC nursing student for the 2023-24 school year.
As the RCC Nursing Department expands, the need for 80 stethoscopes for incoming students was brought to the attention of the RCC Foundation.
The RCC Foundation contacted Siskiyou Community Health Center's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kristin Miller and told her about the situation. Dr. Miller brought the information to the leadership team and the foundation was soon notified that Siskiyou's Chief Executive Officer Richard Booth said they were able to assist.
Thanks to the $8,000 donation from Siskiyou Community Health, RCC ordered the new stethoscopes and has them for this fall term's nursing students. There will be a total of 118 nursing students during the current academic year, 80 of whom will receive one of the new stethoscopes.
RCC Foundation Interim Executive Director Anna Manley said the foundation is so thankful to collaborate with industry partners such as Siskiyou Community Health Center to meet student and program needs.
