 Some local teens are getting a head start on
promising careers in health care. Sutter Amador Hospital (SAH) awarded scholarships to three
students preparing to head to college this fall to study a field in health care.
The scholarships were awarded during awards ceremonies prior to graduation in
the spring. Every year, SAH
awards scholarships to local students dedicated to making a difference to the
health of our community. SAH’s merit-based scholarship program was established
to support the advancement of health care in the communities we serve, and to
promote the training and development of future health care professionals.
 Sutter Amador Hospital Community Scholarships
are awarded to graduating high school seniors from Amador or Calaveras County
who will be pursuing an associate’s degree or higher in a health care program.
This year, two Amador High School students and one Calaveras High School
student received a Sutter Amador Hospital Community Scholarship. “We received applications from
many qualified students this year, which made the selection process difficult,”
says Barbara Wells, human resources director at SAH. “The three students we chose to award scholarships
to are very deserving, and displayed qualities of leadership and determination
and expressed dedication to caring for people. We are proud of their
achievements and wish them well in their future endeavors.” Megan Doyle, the recipient from
Calaveras High School, will be pursuing her dream of being a surgeon. Amador
High School recipient, Jessica Ketel, plans to pursue a degree in respiratory
therapy and Noelle Erosa, also from Amador High, will be pursuing a degree in
nursing. Megan and Jessica were both student interns at SAH through the
Regional Occupation Program (ROP) this year.
