The Eldora Robinson Darby Memorial Health Education Scholarship

After a difficult but brave struggle, our mother passed away from Alzheimer's disease complications, just nine days before her 88th birthday (born Feb. 23, 1932), on Friday, Feb. 14, Valentine's Day. Now we have a very special memory on that day, our mother's Home Going Journey Day. In addition, February is Black History Month, which is also a special time. 

In her honor, Manatoa Health Foundation (MHF), along with Manatoa Health Inc., will establish The Eldora Robinson Darby Memorial Health Education Scholarship. It will provide financial support to students accepted into or working toward any health-related certificate, associates, bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees at any US academic institution, college, or university in accordance with available funds.

To support this endeavor, please consider selecting Manatoa Health as your charitable organization to support at no cost to you every time you purchase from Amazon online. When you order on Amazon Smile by going online to http://smile.amazon.com/ch/83-1698066 Amazon will donate 0.5% (which is 1/2 of 1%) of the amount of your purchase to MHF, and no additional amount will be added to your order, and you will not incur any additional cost to support MHF. Amazon foots the bill in its entirety. The ERDMHE Scholarships will serve current and future generations of health professionals in their educational pursuits.

Donations are also being accepted by mail at:
