Since 2009, the Taylor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Health and Wellness Fund of the Luzerne Foundation (TNR) Scholarship has encouraged qualified medical students from Avoca, Dupont, Duryea, Moosic, Old Forge or Taylor to remain in the region and serve their neighbors.
The event brought together members of the Taylor Long Term Care Center Board of Directors and scholarship recipients Aaron Piavis of Wapwallopen and Jude Polit-Moran of West Pittston to discuss the students’ experiences in medical school and their career plans.
“I was delighted to introduce the board members to our current scholarship recipients,” said Jane Kanyock, MBA, CFRE, director of major gifts at Geisinger Commonwealth. “Our School of Medicine is grateful for the longstanding partnership we enjoy with TNR. Their generosity has already placed several of our graduates in local hospitals and clinics working to improve the well-being of our communities, with many more in residency training who intend to do the same.”
In 2009, TNR provided two scholarships to the inaugural class of 2013. Since 2014, TNR’s philanthropic gifts have provided annual scholarships.
Past recipients include:
• Alexander Anzelmi, MD, Class of 2021
• Frank Anzelmi, MD, Class of 2017
• Sabrina Brunozzi, MD, Class of 2019
• Jordan Chu, MD, Class of 2019
• Eric Drago, MD, Class of 2017
• Cassandra Graeff, MD, Class of 2017
• Jason Homza, MD, Class of 2020
• Nicole Marianelli, MD, Class of 2019
• Bhumi Patel, MD, Class of 2017
The scholarship, based on need, merit and involvement in community activities, is prioritized to Geisinger Commonwealth students who intend to practice in northeastern Pennsylvania. It’s awarded by the board of directors of the Taylor Long Term Care Center to benefit natives of the geographic area that the nursing facility serves.
