The Central Peninsula Hospital Volunteers Scholarship
The Central Peninsula Hospital Volunteers Scholarship is available to high school graduates of the hospitals’ service area who plan to enter the field of health care. This includes those who have an interest in complementary or alternative medicine.
Complementary medicine: A group of diagnostic and therapeutic disciplines that are used together with conventional medicine. An example of a complementary therapy is using acupuncture in addition to usual care to help lessen a patient’s discomfort following surgery.
Alternative medicine: is used in place of conventional medicine. An example of an alternative therapy is using a special diet to treat cancer instead of undergoing surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy that has been recommended by a physician.
