The Jefferson Cary Foundation, (JCF), is responsible for the administration of scholarships awarded to individuals involved in the study of nursing at Cary Medical Center. The Reuben and Annette Cote Family Memorial Scholarship was established by their family many years ago to support ongoing nursing education at the hospital. The family was so impressed by the care that Annette received during her hospitalization at Cary in the mid-1980’s, that they established a scholarship in memory of family members, Reuben Joseph Cote, Annette Cyr Cote, Bertram Paul “Bert” Cote, Freda Cote “Sis” Classy and Alfred Philip “Hap” Cote. The scholarship is awarded annually to a Cary Medical Center nurse(s) furthering their education in the nursing field.
In 2015, two Cary Nurses, Lisa Lajoie, RN and Dayna Michaud, RN, each received scholarship awards.
Lisa currently works on the Intensive Care Unit at Cary and is enrolled in the Community & Family Nurse Practitioner Program at Husson University. Dayna works on Cary’s Acute Care Unit, and is currently in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at the University of Maine at Fort Kent.
Presenting Lisa, (far left) and Dayna, (far right), with their scholarship awards are Shanin Cote, (Alfred Cote’s daughter), and Mary Harrigan, JCF Executive Director.
Here are just a few of the many positive things our patients have to say about their the care they received at Cary Medical Center.
The staff in one day surgery is absolutely amazing. I was very thankful for my team of nurses, doctors and right down to the secretary that checked me in. You all were so amazing, friendly and professional. Thank you so much!
I am beyond happy with our visit at Cary! We can't thank you and your amazing staff for keeping our little boy your #1 concern. You did such an amazing job! Thank you Cary Medical Center!
This hospital was exactly what a hospital should be. The took such good care of my grandmother and the display of humanity and compassion was genuine. I am forever grateful.
I had my son at Cary and I couldn’t imagine being treated better anywhere. The staff were attentive, empathetic, and went above and beyond for my comfort. I wouldn’t want to give birth anywhere else.
A big shout-out to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Cary Medical Center’s ER, Imaging, Lab, Food Service, and ACU Departments. I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful care from each of you.
