Elmhurst Hospital foundation awards $6,000 in scholarships to teen volunteers

The Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Foundation has awarded $6,000 in Teen Volunteer Health Profession Scholarships to three area high school students who volunteer at Endeavor Health Elmhurst Hospital and plan to pursue careers in a health-related field.

Each recipient received $2,000 through the foundation’s Teen Volunteer Health Profession Scholarship program. Funds for this year’s scholarships were raised through the foundation’s annual Reindeer Route Housewalk.

The scholarship recipients were John Bobier of Glenbard East High School, Julianne Kania of York Community High School and Elise Tague, also of York Community High School.

Elmhurst Hospital teen volunteers must meet rigorous criteria to qualify for a scholarship, including scholastic achievements, accumulated hours of community service at the hospital and strong performance evaluations from the volunteer department.
