New Inspired Healthcare Scholarship!

Jamestown (November 15, 2023) - Jamestown Dollars for Scholars announced Inspired Healthcare is offering a new scholarship that will be awarded this spring to a graduating Jamestown High School or the Jamestown-BJA (formerly Jamestown North) senior. The Inspired Healthcare Scholarship will award $1,000 to a student pursuing post-secondary education in the healthcare fields of nursing, psychiatry, psychology, nurse practitioner or physician's assistant.

Becky Kuss, the owner shared, "I look forward to providing this financial award to assist a young man or woman desiring to join us in these healthcare fields. There will continue to be a high demand for practitioners who aspire to work in these careers. I hope to help make post-secondary education more achievable for students and I love giving back."

Inspired Healthcare was founded by Becky and Perry Kuss in 2020. The business provides psychiatric medication management and supportive therapy. They have expertise in many areas including major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, insomnia, and more. Recently, they added substance and addiction counseling with a licensed addiction counselor.

Accepting the donation on behalf of Jamestown Dollars for Scholars was Sally Ost, board member. Ost shared, "Inspired Healthcare is committed to supporting the local community and investing in the future of its youth.  The scholarship is a testament to this commitment and will help a deserving student achieve their dream of higher education."
