Press Release from Mercer Health: Mercer Health Medical Staff awarded its 2022 Mercer Health Medical Staff Scholarship to Madison Rose-Malkama…

Ohio Means Jobs Allen County offered an informational session on Thursday to people interested in becoming licensed child care providers. Over the past few years, the demand for child care has increased, while the number of available child care centers has declined.

This program helps people become licensed to provide child care from their own homes so they can make an income and still be at home with their own children. If approved, they would also be able to set their own work schedules. The goal is to fill gaps in the times of the day that people aren't able to find child care services. 

The Mercer Health Medical Staff Scholarship Committee will award $2,000 to a medical school student who has shown a strong connection to Mercer Health or the surrounding communities. The scholarship will be awarded for a one-year period and provided directly to the student. Applicants may submit each year of medical school and previous recipients are also eligible to apply. 

Ohio Northern University hosted an annual conference that brought in around 80 high school guidance counselors from around the state. The campus last hosted the event 8 years ago and says they are excited to show counselors why ONU may be a good fit for their students.

They are now looking for presenters to share ideas worth spreading. The goal is to foster learning, inspiration, and conversations, among others. Last year’s theme was community and the group came up with this year’s theme by suggestions from last year.
