Also benefitting from an HHF award are phlebotomy major Mikayla Cornelious, of West Helena, medical lab technology major Shiria Lindsey, and practical nursing major Asia Thomas, of West Helena.
The mission of the Helena Health Foundation is to support and improve the public well-being and quality of life in Phillips County. The Foundation's three areas of focus are health education, access to healthcare and healthcare and wellness.
