Ngoc Barton receives Farber Scholarship to study nursing
One of Goshen Health’s certified nursing assistants has received a $5,000 scholarship to help her achieve her goal of becoming a nurse. This month Ngoc Barton was awarded the Farber Scholarship, which was established by Ned and Agda Farber, lifetime residents of Goshen.
“I chose nursing because I want to work closely with people to get to know them so I can take care of them,” Ngoc Barton said. “I’ve learned a lot from working at Goshen Hospital. I appreciate getting the Farber Scholarship because it not only helps me financially, but also helps me focus on becoming an excellent nurse.”
“As predicted, a shortage of healthcare workers has increased since Ned and Agda Farber established their scholarships to help students studying medicine. The Farbers’ gift, that came from their lifetime of savings, continues to transform not only the lives of individuals seeking further education, but also the county they loved, lived and worked in,” said Jim Caskey, Vice President, Goshen Foundation and Campaign Director. “Their generosity continues to address needs and spread joy to others.”
Goshen Foundation administers the Farber Scholarships, which are offered to Goshen Health Colleagues who have been accepted into an accredited nursing program and are pursuing a nursing career. This education strengthens the quality, compassion and professionalism of the health care Goshen Health delivers to the people it serves.
