Congratulations to the Recipients of the 2023 Edwin and Laura Davis Memorial Nursing Scholarship

The scholarship fund for nursing education was established by Edwin and Laura Davis as a living, lasting memorial to support the education of a nurse pursuing further nursing education. The Professional Development and Recognition Council has selected this year’s recipients:

  • Christina Vanella, RN (Viner ICU)
  • Joan Madara, RN (Pediatrics)
  • Samantha McQueen, RN (NICU)

Mr. and Mrs. Davis were longtime residents of Collingswood, New Jersey. Prior to her death, Mrs. Davis suffered from a lengthy illness that required numerous hospitalizations at Cooper University Hospital. During that time, she was “well cared for by her nurses.” This scholarship fund is her tribute and legacy to the art of caring and compassion.

Recipients of the scholarship receive a maximum of $3,000 per year for two consecutive years.

Congratulations to Christina, Joan, and Samantha on your achievements. We wish you the very best as you advance your education.
