In 1968, Canton Visiting Nurse Association (CVNA), established the Canton Public Health Service Scholarship for individuals pursuing higher education in public health. In 1980, a follow-up study found that over 75% of Scholarship recipients were ‘Paying It Forward’ by working in: analytical chemistry, nursing, rehabilitation, physical and respiratory therapy and psychology.
Today, Canton Community Health Fund, Inc. celebrates the spirit of CVNA’s commitment to the future by providing financial support to Canton residents pursuing further education, training or certification in health-related or public service/safety fields.
