Columbia State Announces Adam Moritz as First Morning Pointe Scholarship Recipient

2017 Mar 8

The Morning Pointe Foundation has recently partnered with Columbia State Community College to present the first Morning Pointe nursing scholarship.

Adam Moritz of Spring Hill, Columbia State nursing student and recipient of the Morning Pointe scholarship, is pursuing a career in critical care nursing.

"This scholarship is a huge blessing and a tremendous honor," said Moritz.

The scholarship was established by the Morning Pointe Foundation to engage exceptional nursing students and encourage a growing workforce in the senior health care field. This partnership offers opportunities for students to do clinicals at Morning Pointe facilities, for Morning Pointe professional providers to serve as guest speakers and advisers in Columbia State programs and for Columbia State graduates to help sustain the senior health care workforce.

"We thank Morning Pointe Foundation for their involvement in the community and for their commitment to students in the health care field," said Bethany Lay, Columbia State executive for advancement and executive director of the Columbia State Foundation. "These are the students that will one day be the providers for us or our loved ones."

Morning Pointe communities are committed to being the provider of choice for assisted living and Alzheimer's care services. There are four Morning Pointe locations in the Columbia State service area - Columbia, Franklin, Brentwood and the newest opening in Spring Hill.

The Morning Pointe Foundation is expanding its partnership with area colleges to raise awareness of growing career opportunities in geriatrics. To learn more about the Morning Pointe Foundation Scholarship, visit www.MorningPointeFoundation.com/invest-in-a-scholar.
