LA PORTE — Three Indiana University Health La Porte entities awarded 37 local students a total of $57,750 in financial assistance toward their pursuit of careers in health sciences.

“Investing in education and our students is a profound way to be proactive in building healthy communities. These awards are a result of our corporate stewardship, but more so of the thoughtful gifts of individuals and Foundation members, our physician community, and our dedicated auxiliary members who truly care about the future of our students and community,” said G. Thor Thordarson, president and CEO of IU Health La Porte Hospital.
