Ryan LeVine of Hopkinton, Julia Philbrook of Uxbridge, and Gretchen Scotland of Franklin were the recipients of the Perry Memorial Volunteer Scholarship, each student receiving $500. Applicants were required to have volunteered at Milford Regional, among several other considerations.
For more than 20 years, Bill and Anne Perry were dedicated volunteers at Milford Regional Medical Center. The Perry’s were known for their commitment to volunteerism and appreciation for education.
LeVine will be attending the University of Connecticut in the fall and would like to become a trauma surgeon. Philbrook will be attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the fall and hopes to become a dosimetrist, and Scotland is currently enrolled in Quinnipiac University with plans to become a physician’s assistant.  
The Auxiliary of Milford Regional awarded two scholarships to high school seniors. Anchita Mahanta of Milford and Philbrook were each awarded $1,000 from the Auxiliary. Mahanta volunteered in the Emergency Department at Milford Regional and hopes to study psychology at the college of her choice.
The Auxiliary serves Milford Regional through programs of education, community service, public relations, and support of volunteer services – along with supporting the hospital through fundraising efforts. Since its founding, the Auxiliary has raised close to $1 million, resulting in state-of-the-art equipment, advanced technology, key renovations, scholarships, expansions in patient care, and critical programmatic support.
 “Milford Regional is very proud of these students and grateful to the Perry family and the Auxiliary for their continued support of our student volunteers’ pursuit of higher education,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Milford Regional Medical Center and Healthcare System Edward J. Kelly. “These scholarships are an investment in the future of our local youth who are admirably working toward a career in the healthcare field.”
