CAROLINAS COLLEGE OF HEALTH SCIENCES
STEPPING UP TO SUPPORT STUDENTS When Jackie and Louis Pfeiffer learned of the challenges students at the Carolinas College of Health Sciences (CCHS) at Atrium Health were facing during the pandemic, they were moved to make a significant donation in support of the Student Emergency Fund. As members of the Evergreen Society, Atrium Health Foundation’s society for legacy giving, the Pfeiffers were no strangers to supporting nursing education at Atrium Health. A former nurse, Jackie graduated from a school in Pittsburgh which is now closed. When she and her husband decided to create a nursing scholarship, they researched schools in the area and chose CCHS. Grateful that the college had established a fund to support students during COVID-19, Jackie and “Lou” were compelled to give more than they have ever in one year. “Competent and capable nursing care is greatly needed and appreciated, and we are pleased to be able to assist those who are called to provide it,” said Jackie.
