Twenty area students pursuing a higher education degree in healthcare have been named recipients of the St. Catherine Hospital Auxiliary scholarship program for the 2018-19 academic school year. A total of $21,000 was distributed to the students during an afternoon reception at the hospital, 4321 Fir St., in East Chicago. Nineteen students received scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each. Cristina Torres was the recipient of the $2,000 Maryann Chevigny Scholarship Award, named for a former president of the auxiliary. In addition, Kathy Wrzalinski, RN, systems Quality & Regulatory manager, was presented with the Jo Ann Birdzell Scholarship award. Named in honor of Birdzell, who retired as CEO in 2016, the scholarship is presented to an employee who is pursing education to advance their career in healthcare. Wrzalinski is pursuing a master’s degree in healthcare administration. Leo Correa, CEO, thanked the auxiliary for their fund raising efforts to make the scholarship awards a reality each year. He congratulated students on their decision to pursue a healthcare career. “Healthcare is a rewarding field, and there is a definite need for an infusion of healthcare providers,” he said. Correa reminded students of how hard parents work to put their children through school. Scholarships like these have
