Bend Surgery Center Foundation
Central Oregon and the nation are experiencing a shortage of Healthcare providers in several professional areas. Bend Surgery Center Foundation was organized to assist Central Oregon students who have demonstrated a commitment and desire to pursue further education within the Healthcare industry. We see the Healthcare future in our youth, and we want to help them achieve their dreams and degrees. The creation of this Scholarship based Foundation is just one way we're reaching out to encourage students to pursue careers in the medical field.
