Katy Green and Cathy McJannet Nursing Scholarship Program
The Katy Green and Cathy McJannet Nursing Scholarship Program shapes the future of health care by supporting the education and growth of dedicated nursing professionals.
Scholarships by nurses for nurses
Sharp Coronado Hospital nurses form a diverse team, working in roles ranging from bedside care to administration. They are the front line of The Sharp Experience and are central to our accomplishments and the care we provide to patients every day.
The idea to grow and sustain the Coronado nursing team was conceived by Wendy McGuire and Dev Purkayastha, who both benefited from financial assistance during their education journeys.
Inspired by Sharp Coronado retired nurses Katy Green and Cathy McJannet, who together have over 70 years of nursing experience, McGuire and Purkayastha provided the initial donation to launch the fund.
They named the fund in honor of Green and McJannet in recognition of their significant contributions to Coronado and recruited them to design and administer the program.
