Boca Hospital gives free physicals to Snow Scholars
By Palm Beach Business.com
BOCA RATON — Boca Raton Community Hospital partnered with the George Snow Scholarship Fund to provide free college physicals and immunizations to six 2010 scholarship recipients. On June 19, Snow Scholars received complete college physicals and meningitis vaccines, from Boca Raton Community Hospital emergency room physicians.
This year marks the 28th anniversary of the George Snow Scholarship Fund, a Boca Raton-based public charity, which provides grants for college to deserving students in Palm Beach and northern Broward counties. These scholarships are four-year commitments and are designed to bridge the gap between financial aid granted by colleges, state and federal aid sources and the recipient’s need, in order to attend college. Boca Raton Community Hospital partnered with the George Snow Scholarship Fund seven years ago, and has been providing physicals and immunization services to scholarship recipients since then.
“It’s a great cause and I’m proud to contribute even a small part to the fund,” says Boca Raton Community Hospital’s Dr. Evan Goldstein, who has been providing these services to Snow Scholars for seven years. “It is important to set an example for young people and it is my hope that by doing good for others, these students will be inspired to do the same one day.”
