Giving Opportunities
Funds for Halifax Regional Health System’s tuition
assistance programs and Halifax Regional Hospice come from
the generosity of individuals who recognize the importance
of quality health care.
Educational support
Since 1983 over 700 individuals have
received scholarship and tuition assistance from Halifax
Regional Health System.
Project Prime
Project PRIME (Public Rally for Individual
Medical Education) offers tuition assistance to individuals
interested in pursuing a career in health care. Established in 1983 with contributions
from residents and local businesses, Project PRIME awards
funds to successful applicants wishing to become certified
nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, registered
nurses, radiology technicians, certified or registered respiratory
therapists, laboratory technicians, nuclear medicine technicians,
physical or occupational therapists and other health care
positions. Funds may also be used for the further education
of individuals already in the health care field of their
choice.
Since established, nearly one million dollars, interest
from the PRIME endowment, has been awarded.
The Dr. Jesse J. Bates Scholarship
Established in 2003, the Dr. Jesse J. Bates Scholarship
was named to honor the late Dr. Jesse J. Bates. Funds from the Dr. Jesse J. Bates Scholarship are awarded to graduating high school seniors
in the Halifax Regional Health System service area who are
pursuing higher education in the health care field. The
first recipients of the Dr. Jesse J. Bates Scholarship were named in the
spring of 2004.

Health System board of directors member Thomas A. Crowell,
