Junior Volunteer Scholarships
By volunteering their time and talents, our junior volunteers show their passion for providing excellent care to our community members. It is our privilege to honor those junior volunteers who have helped our patients, visitors, and team members in such meaningful ways. North Memorial Health Foundation is proud to offer the Junior Volunteer Scholarship and Gayle Stegeman Memorial Scholarship to our volunteers.
Gayle Stegeman Memorial Scholarship
The Gayle Stegeman Memorial Scholarship, the junior volunteer scholarship program at North – Maple Grove Hospital, was created in 2018 to honor the memory of our beloved gift shop manager, Gayle.
Gayle was an inspiration to many throughout the hospital, both patients and team members.
North – Robbinsdale Hospital Junior Volunteer Scholarship
The scholarship program at North – Robbinsdale Hospital was originally founded with a gift from the Hospital Auxiliary to support young adult volunteers.
Though the Auxiliary is no longer active today, the legacy of their generosity lives on through the accomplishment of these exceptional volunteers.
