Friends of Nursing, a Hospital foundation, has given Arlington Hospital nurses millions of dollars in scholarships and clinical excellence awards over the years. Funds for the foundation are donated by the local community. The Hospital also offers scholarships and externships to nursing students who work during the summer between their junior and senior years of nursing school. The Hospital's high nurse retention rate and level of patient satisfaction reflect the strong commitment of our nursing staff. Providing funds to over 1,100 agencies throughout the metropolitan area, The United Way touches one in three people in our community.
Many staff already donate their time and skills to individual local agencies.
