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-1980s, that they established a scholarship in her memory that is awarded annually to a Cary Medical Center nurse furthering his/her education in the nursing field. Receiving the 2014 Scholarship Award of $750 is Kelsey King, RN, BSN, of Caribou. She is currently a full-time emergency room nurse at Cary and is enrolled in the Nurse Practitioner Program through St. Josephs College. Attending the presentation were, from left, Kelsey’s mother, Ann King, RN, CIC, Cary’s infection prevention specialist, and a 2005 Cote scholarship recipient; Shanin Cote, MOTR/L, ATC, Cary occupational therapist and granddaughter of Reuben and Annette Cote; King; and Mary Harrigan, Jefferson Cary Foundation executive director.
