2022 Dr. Bruce Ashley Scholarship Award
The Adams County Medical Foundation awarded the Dr. Bruce Ashley Legacy Scholarship to Ethan Cummings. Ethan will be attending Shawnee State University this fall majoring in Nursing with the long-term goal of obtaining a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist certification. His academic, leadership, and work accomplishments are outstanding and earned him this honor.
The Dr. Bruce Ashley Legacy Scholarship is a $1,000 award for students attending a regionally accredited institution of higher education pursuing a career in a health care profession. The scholarship honors Dr. Ashley, who joined the Medical Staff at Adams County Hospital in 1974 and served in a number of health care capacities but was best known as the Emergency/Outpatient Director for ACRMC; the Health Commissioner for Adams County; and the Medical Director for Adams County Emergency Services and EAST Ambulance EMC Service. Dr. Ashley touched the lives of thousands of people and the community was stunned when he unexpectedly passed away the evening of May 5th, 2016. The Adams County Medical Foundation is very pleased to offer scholarships to our community. As of this year, the Foundation has awarded 19 scholarships since 2013 for a total of $33,000. Scholarships are funded through the generosity of community donations, fundraising activities, and family gifts.
