Brianna Hornbeck is a high school student in UPMC Northwest’s Junior Scholar program who will be pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
The Stephen C. and Marie F. Cenedella Nursing Scholarship was established to offset the cost of education intended to advance the recipient’s skills or qualifications as members of the hospital’s nursing staff. The recipient is Palliative Care Nurse Stephanie Brackbill. She is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Walden University. Her certificate was presented by Foundation Executive Director Theresa Edder at the UPMC Northwest Nursing Practice Council Nursing Awards Ceremony on May 6.
