The Reuben and Annette Cote Family Memorial Scholarship was established by their family many years ago to support ongoing nursing education at Cary Medical Center. 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 her memory that is awarded annually to a Cary Medical Center employee furthering his/her education in the nursing field. The scholarship funds are administered by the the Jefferson Cary Foundation, (JCF).
Receiving the 2016 Scholarship Award of $750 is Kim Wilcox, RT(R)(MR)(M), CN-BI, of Presque Isle. Kim was a Radiologic Technologist and Patient Navigator at Cary prior to returning to college to further her education in the nursing field. Kim is currently enrolled in the Nursing Program at Northern Maine Community College. Her plans are then to continue with the Family Nurse Practitioner Program at Husson University, specializing in geriatrics and pharmacology.

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.
