Wethersfield-Rocky Hill Professional Nurses Association Awards Scholarships

The Wethersfield-Rocky Hill Professional Nurses Association (WRHPNA) awarded 4 scholarships to area nursing students at its annual meeting on May 9 in Wethersfield. The four 2012 scholarships were awarded to: Melissa Edgerly of Middletown, a senior nursing student at Southern CT State University; Rocca Perruccio of Portland, a registered nurse student at Central CT State University; Paulina Gorecki of New Britain and Christie Petrossi of Berlin, both senior nursing students at UConn School of Nursing.

This year’s scholarships were made available through a gift from Marilyn and Harry Covey of Wethersfield; a memorial gift from the family of Juliette Libby; memorial gifts from the family and friends of the late Marge Gentino; and donations from the Central Connecticut Health District, WRHPNA members and others.
