18 scholarships Mary Ann Lottes Nursing Scholarship Mary Lottes was raised on the family farm in Illmo-Scott City, Missouri. After Mary Ann graduated from Fornfelt High School, she remained at home to assist her mother in raising her three younger sisters, and to help out on the farm. Mary Ann had a strong aspiration to attend college and receive a nursing degree. However, due to the depression, her family was not financially able to manage the expense of a college education. Mary Ann and Dennis E. Lottes were married in 1948. Dennis served in the Marine Corps in World War II and the Korean conflict. In the line of duty in Korea, Dennis lost his left foot from a grenade explosion. Mary Ann joined him at a hospital in California to care for him until he was stable enough to return home to Scott City. Before his death in 1985, Dennis suffered from congestive heart failure and lung cancer. Mary Ann cared for him while working full time and raising four daughters. She worked hard to ensure that all four of her daughters could do what she could not—receive a college degree. Mary Ann’s dream of receiving a nursing degree may not have been realized, but she was a nurse at heart. Her compassion for her husband and the caring for her elderly in-laws until they passed, demonstrated what nursing truly represents. Compassion, caring and spiritual guidance are what Mary Ann portrayed every day to her family and friends. She was their advocate when it was time to make critical health decisions, and she was there to hold their hands as they passed away. Upon her death on Januray 26, 2010, the family of Mary Ann Lottes created this scholarship in memory of their mother. Their intention is to assist a nursing student who portrays the qualities of compassion, caring, advocacy and spiritual guidance—someone who can make a difference in the lives of patients and families as their mother did. The Mary Ann Lottes Nursing Scholarship is an annual scholarship to be used to assist individuals enrolled in the SoutheastHEALTH College of Nursing & Health Sciences in the nursing program. Tom Welch Radiography Scholarship The Thomas Welch Radiography Scholarship was established by the friends of Tom at Southeast- HEALTH in recognition of Tom’s contributions in the field of Radiology. Tom retired in 2010 after nearly 36 years as Southeast’s Director of Radiology. Tom’s journey at Southeast began in July of 1974. Since then, he has overseen major improvements in the Hospital’s Radiology Department. “It has been an evolutionary process,” Tom says. “Healthcare has changed drastically since 1974.” The Radiology Department has expanded from about 5,000 square feet to its current space of 25,000 square feet. When he joined the staff about 10,000 Radiology exams were performed annually. Today, that figure is more than 100,000. During Tom’s tenure he saw the introduction of Ultrasound, CAT scan and MRI as well as an expanded Nuclear Medicine Department with state-of-the-art equipment. Tom is a lifelong learner and teacher. This scholarship is dedicated to his spirit of mentoring students and enhancing the life and health of others. The Thomas Welch Radiography Scholarship was established in 2010 as an endowed scholarship to be used to assist individuals enrolled in the Southeast- HEALTH College of Nursing & Health Sciences Radiology curriculum. a new era of sharing There are many ways to fund a scholarship. If you or your family would like to offer a scholarship to students entering the healthcare field, please contact Mary Burton-Hitt at (573) 986-6626 or mburton@sehealth.org.
Foundation Holds Nature’s Landing Reception Thomas Wolfe wrote “Nature is the one place where miracles not only happen, but they happen all the time.” Southeast understands this wisdom. Nature’s Landing is the exterior centerpiece of our Hospital campus and a place of meditation, reflection and healing for patients and visitors. Nature’s Landing is also a portal to Cape Girardeau’s reemerging downtown, as well as a beautiful addition to our community. It has won two very prestigious awards which were celebrated at a reception on June 19 at the Wente Manor. Nature’s Landing was honored as winner of the 2009 American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Award of Excellence for Architecture Design and Planning, the highest achievable award in its category. A second award was presented in April, 2010 by the Central States Chapter of the ASLA. The St. Louis chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has recognized Southeast Hospital’s Nature’s Landing for excellence in Landscape Architecture Design and Planning. SWT, a St. Louis-based, environmentally conscious planning and landscape architecture firm created Nature’s Landing. SWT received the Honor Award, the highest achievable award in its category, Landscape Architecture Design. Nature’s Landing offers donors a memorable way to help ensure that more men and women have the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of others and benefit the College of Nursing and Health Sciences Endowment Fund.
