Now in its eleventh year of offering scholarships to Brigham nurses, the Gretchen Stone Cook Charitable Foundation recently passed the $1 million mark in support of nurses pursuing a bachelor’s, graduate or doctorate degree in nursing.

The Department of Nursing hosted a reception on Aug. 26 to celebrate and honor this year’s recipients of the Genevieve Hope Blaney Scholarship, which is funded by the foundation to provide financial support to nurses enrolled in a degree program. Jim Smithson, trustee of the foundation, and his daughter, Elisa Frederick, MSN, RN, PNP, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, attended the celebration, along with hospital and nursing leaders and staff.

“We are deeply grateful to the Gretchen Stone Cook Charitable Foundation for helping Brigham nurses to advance their education and make even greater contributions to patient care, research, innovation and teaching,” said Maddy Pearson, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, chief nursing officer and senior vice president of Clinical Services.
