This designation is made based on the following criteria:

Outstanding execution of an annual campaign
Service and volunteerism for the better good
Advocacy on behalf of the United Way of the Lakelands
Stellar Leadership within the community that sets a positive example for all

“She was the kind of case manager who left nothing unturned. As a manager, knowing Tisha was assigned to a patient gave me assurance that the patient and family would have every need met, no matter the cost. She was never afraid to go where she was needed and willingly said yes to anything asked of her. Tisha’s fierce compassion and empathetic heart burned bright, and it’s a light we will never be able to replace.”

Since the recent announcement that South Carolina is fourth in the country for a predicted nursing shortage in the next decade, the Self Regional Scholars Program was designed as a solution, aiming to create a secure and confident group of qualified nurses for our communities.
