The Clemence Elizabeth Cox Scholarship Fund through the Jerry L. Cox Foundation has provided many students pursuing careers in the medical field with the resources needed to achieve their dreams. The scholarship provides financial assistance to individuals entering the healthcare profession, as well as those pursuing advanced degrees. Assistance is available for tuition, books, and other direct educational expenses.
The most recent scholarship recipient is Cheyenne Summerfield, who recently completed her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. Through the support of the Clemence Elizabeth Cox Scholarship Fund, Cheyenne was able to continue her educational journey and achieve this significant milestone in her healthcare career.
“On behalf of Fairfield Memorial Hospital, I want to extend our sincere gratitude to the Jerry L. Cox Foundation and Mr. Cox for their continued support of our team members’ educational pursuits. This contribution is much more than financial assistance—it is an investment in the future of our hospital and the health of the communities we serve. Mr. Cox is helping to develop highly skilled healthcare professionals who are committed to providing exceptional patient care. As Fairfield Memorial Hospital continues to expand its healthcare services, including the addition of orthopedic surgeon Dr. Sean Odell and physician assistant John Nugent, while also growing our Skilled Care and Swing Bed services, the need for quality therapy services continues to grow. Cheyenne’s addition to our team allows us to reach and serve even more patients in our community.” said Hollie Barrett, MSN, RN, CRHCP, Chief Nursing Officer at Fairfield Memorial Hospital.
Now serving as a Physical Therapist at Fairfield Memorial Hospital, Cheyenne Summerfield is putting her education into practice by providing compassionate, high-quality care to patients throughout the region. Fairfield Memorial Hospital congratulates Cheyenne on earning her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree and thanks the Jerry L. Cox Foundation for investing in the education and success of healthcare professionals who make a lasting difference in the communities they serve.
