Newfield, Thorofare Nurses Earn Scholarships

Two Jefferson Health Department of Nursing employees received annual Nursing Scholarships through the Magnet®-designated healthcare organization. They were chosen by the Nursing Selection Committee based on academic achievement and support of Jefferson’s mission. Joy Arteaga, a resident of Newfield, is a Jefferson Stratford Hospital Emergency Department RN, and is enrolled at Wilmington University pursuing a BSN degree. She will receive a $4,500 scholarship. Julia Magyar of Thorofare is a Resource RN who works across all three East Region campuses and attends Wilmington University’s MSN Leadership and Education program. She will receive an $8,000 scholarship.

The Nursing Scholarships are supported annually by Jefferson employees, the Gartzman family, and other generous donors. The Gartzman Fund Scholarship is in memory of young, then-Kennedy Health physician Alan Gartzman, who was killed in 1985 while driving home from visiting a long-term care patient.
