2025 Scholarship Recipients

In 2025, 20 exceptional high school seniors have each been awarded a $1,000 scholarship to support their pursuit of a college education in healthcare-related fields. The awardees include 15 extraordinary students from our local communities and 5 students who are children of Omni Family Health employees. These scholarships reflect Omni Family Health’s strong commitment to fostering the next generation of healthcare professionals and community leaders.

“For over two decades, Omni Family Health has remained committed to investing in our youth and the future of healthcare,” said Francisco L. Castillon, Chief Executive Officer. “We extend our heartfelt congratulations to this year’s graduating seniors. These students have demonstrated remarkable dedication, academic excellence, and a passion for healthcare. We are honored to support them as they begin their college journey.”

Since the inception of the scholarship program, Omni Family Health has awarded a total of $224,000 in scholarships to 224 deserving high school seniors across the region.

The record number of scholarships were carefully reviewed by the Omni Scholarship Committee, chaired by board member Susan Watkins. The committee evaluated applicants through a rigorous review process to ensure that the scholarships reflect both merit and potential. The Omni board of directors approved the final recommendations at their monthly meeting.

“At Omni Family Health, we believe that investing in our students is an investment in the health and well-being of our communities,” said Watkins. “It was a true privilege to help identify such promising students, and we look forward to seeing the impact they will make in the years to come.”
