Ms. Tanisha Wilson, a senior nursing student at PCC is the 2022 recipient of the Cindy A. Jones Nursing Memorial Scholarship through the Lenoir Hospital Foundation.

 The Cindy A. Jones Memorial Scholarship was established in October 2004 through contributions from her family, colleagues and friends.  The scholarship is in recognition of Cindy Alphin Jones, beloved employee of Lenoir Memorial Hospital, who fought a long and courageous battle with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The scholarship provides financial assistance to individuals actively enrolled in a nursing program and who have completed an application and then presented for review and selection by the UNC Health Lenoir nursing selection committee.
