A special thank you to Duke Health for a $25,000 donation to the Phil Harewood Scholarship fund.

The Phil Harewood Scholarship fund awards financial grants to children of LCHC employees who are attending a college or university. Grants are by application and made once a year. In making the gift, Ms. Galbraith said “We are honored to thank and recognize Phil for his leadership at Lincoln over his distinguished career by contributing to a program that is so important to him.” Phil Harewood, CEO, retired on September 30^th after 28 years at Lincoln, the past 10 as chief executive officer.

On August 8th-14th, Lincoln Community Health Center celebrated National Health Center Week, recognizing the hard work of community health center staff in North Carolina and nationwide. With a donation from the LCHC Foundation, Lincoln was able to provide backpacks and school supplies to 40 pediatric patients who came to Lincoln on Wednesday, August 11th. Thank you to everyone who assisted, our donors and the LCHC Foundation for financial support, and to all LCHC staff who helped make this event possible.
