CORVALLIS — The deadline for the Corvallis Clinic Foundation’s James R. Naibert, M.D., scholarship is Monday, June 30. The $1,000 scholarship is available to an area student who demonstrates an interest in working in a health-related profession that involves direct patient care, such as a physician, nursing, technical profession or pharmaceutical studies.

Application information is available online at The Corvallis Clinic Web site, www.corvallisclinic.com/mission_values/health-care-scholarships or by contacting The Corvallis Clinic Foundation’s Administrative office at (541) 754-1374.

The scholarship is named in honor of Dr. James R. Naibert and is awarded to a college sophomore or above who is studying in a health-related profession, such as a physician, nursing, technical profession or pharmaceutical studies. The scholarship honors Dr. Naibert, a retired physician who worked in The Clinic’s Immediate Care Center.

His patients chose to recognize his efforts by establishing the scholarship for area students. To be eligible, applicants must have graduated from a high school in Linn or Benton county, and be a college sophomore standing or above or have lived in the mid-valley for at least three years while working in a healthcare field with direct patient care. A 3.25 post-secondary grade point average is preferred.

The Corvallis Clinic Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide resources in the mid-Willamette Valley that support health education, preventive health care, and the delivery of health care to indigent populations.

The Corvallis Clinic Foundation: Creating HealthCare Heroes

• Providing free service, counsel and insight for breast cancer patients through the award-winning Project H.E.R.

• Creating educational opportunities for aspiring young healthcare providers, who might not otherwise advance into positions of care.

• Serving as a financial resource in emergency situations for those facing family crisis and hardship.

The Corvallis Clinic Foundation achieves all this and more through its commitment to and investment in its health-related projects. Learn more about our HealthCare Hero stories

For nearly six decades, The Corvallis Clinic Foundation has been investing in a healthier future for our local community The Foundation’s Puttin’ on the Pink supports breast cancer survivors of Benton and Linn counties. For the most part, The Foundation has worked its wonders quietly, privately, through the labors and gifts of the caring physicians, staff, and special friends of The Corvallis Clinic. Part of what makes this foundation unique, is that all the money it raises must be given exclusively to others outside of The Corvallis Clinic physician group to improve community health. Cancer support, scholarships, and basic human needs are among the ways this foundation helps others.

In the face of real and growing needs in providing quality health care, The Corvallis Clinic Foundation’s board of directors believes far more could be achieved if everyone who cares about our local community were invited to help make its future a healthier one.

“When you have your health you have everything, and when you don’t, nothing else matters.” Being healthy, staying healthy, and being quickly restored to health is something we all want – for our loved ones, our friends, our community, and ourselves. Please make a gift to The Corvallis Clinic Foundation today and help support Healthcare Heroes in our community. Your gift can support where the need is greatest or you can designate for programs such as Project H.E.R., all cancer support, health education scholarships, or the emergency fund.

After raising more than $142,000 for breast cancer services in 2012, Puttin’ on the Pink also has received a national cancer awareness award. The Corvallis Clinic Foundation’s gala fundraiser celebrating cancer survivorship earned the Judge’s Choice award from the national Cancer Awareness Advertising Awards program.

Puttin’ on the Pink was honored as the top entry for informing and educating the community about cancer risk factors, early detection, as well as diagnosis and treatment services available.

“It is so rewarding to know that a heartfelt event, such as Puttin’ on the Pink, can be further recognized for the visibility we bring to the community about our cancer survivors,” said Judy Corwin, Foundation and Marketing Director at The Corvallis Clinic. “This recognition was a team effort _ one that is shared by those who made the event so successful with all of those who supported it!”

The pink carpet event at the CH2M-Hill Alumni Center in October 2012 raised money for Project H.E.R. (the initials stand for Help, Enlightenment and Resources), which provides awareness, education and support for women in Benton, Linn and Lincoln counties facing breast cancer.

Entries in the Cancer Awareness Advertising Awards are judged by a panel of healthcare marketing experts representing all aspects of medical advertising throughout the industry. Puttin’ on the Pink competed against entries from across the country, as well as from Canada and South America.
