Three South Plains College nursing students will be aided financially by scholarships from Crown Point Health Suites, in conjunction with the South Plains College Foundation.
The inaugural Crown Point Health Suites Excellence in Nursing Impact Scholarships supports vocational nurse education at SPC and will be awarded Wednesday, Oct. 12 at 4 p.m. at Crown Point Health Suites, 6640
Iol Avenue in Lubbock.
Recipients this year are: Mayra Gutierrez, of Levelland; Lisa Reimer, of Seagraves; and Mariah Leon, of Lubbock. Gutierrez and Reimer are completing the South Plains Licensed Vocational Nursing program while Leon is an incoming Freshman.
“Our family has been involved in nursing in Lubbock for four generations. We know the difference a nurse makes in the life of patients and we continue to see it each and every day,” said Terri Jewell Ruble, Crown Point co-founder.
“We are committed to nursing and believe education is transformative in people’s lives. We hope these scholarships will encourage future nurses to pursue, and complete, their course of study.”
Crown Point Health Suites Excellence in Nursing Impact Scholarships will be awarded each year. One scholarship will be awarded to an incoming SPC freshman who is a graduate of the Lubbock Independent School
District’s Health Science course of study in the medical magnet program at the Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center. The other two will be awarded to currently enrolled students in the SPC Licensed Vocational Nursing Program.
Crown Point Health Suites is family owned and local. Our mission is to provide person-centered skilled nursing services in a resort-like environment. Licensed by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services as a nursing home, we revolutionized skilled nursing care through an environment which represents a resort, rather than a typical, institutional nursing home where patients have choices not typically found in other facilities.
