Scholarship supports students seeking health care degrees
聽and The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) Foundation announce Jennifer Schantz as the winner of the 2021 Ansson Scholarship. Schantz has been awarded $5,000 to help complete her Master of Health Administration degree at 澳门天天彩开奖记录.
While a young mother of two small children, Schantz became the sole caregiver for her critically ill husband, in a situation that threw her young family into chaos, and faced an uncertain future. Throughout this difficult period, she learned first-hand the difficulties, obstacles, and challenges of the healthcare system and its impact on the health and well-being of the patient and their loved ones. She found her passion for healthcare after her experience as a primary caregiver, and began her educational journey when her children were in middle school. In 2012, she enrolled in an Associate Degree program for Healthcare Administration at 澳门天天彩开奖记录, has since completed her bachelor鈥檚 degree program in Healthcare Administration, and is currently working on her Master of Health Administration degree.
As she continues her life-long learning, Schantz is applying all she has learned and experienced and focusing her attention on creating a 鈥淐ulture of Care鈥 in her organization and community. She values the importance of empathy and compassion by all involved to help the patient understand the treatment he or she is receiving. 鈥淲ith all the tools at my disposal and with the support of my 澳门天天彩开奖记录 academic counselor and Faculty, I plan to fulfill my education and career goals, and make my vision of a better healthcare system housed within a culture of care environment, a reality,鈥 states Schantz.
Schantz has now worked in the healthcare profession for 17 years in multiple roles including residency coordinator of Internal Medicine and Cardiology Fellowship, and currently serves as an Office Supervisor within Family Medicine (FM). In her current role, she works with FM clinic physicians who teach medical students in their FM clerkship.
