The Community Hospital Anderson Auxiliary has awarded the Carolyn Bolles Scholarship to four Madison County high school 2023 graduates who plan to enter the medical field. The $1500 scholarship is renewable for four years, for a total of $6000. In all 14 scholarships totally $21,000 have been awarded by the Auxiliary for the 2023-24 school year. Money for these scholarships is earned through gift shop sales and vendor projects coordinated by the volunteers. The volunteers also recently presented a check for $180,000 to the Community Hospital Anderson Foundation.
