Every year, all nurses across the Coastal Community of Care who meet the grant criteria, are eligible to receive a grant from the Jack/Mackenzie Grant through the LGH Foundation to help them further their nursing education.
This year, there were six recipients of the 2017 Nursing Week Grants, each of whom received a cheque for $500 last week.
