The future of medicine in Door County is a little brighter thanks to community generosity.

Earlier this month, Angel Scholarship Campaign co-chairs Deb Hogan and Dave Resch announced that more than $115,000 was raised to support scholarships for Door County students pursuing health care-related careers.

The total includes a $50,000 matching grant from benefactors Tom Pollock and Chris Gritzmacher, who have issued similar funding challenges in the past.

“Your efforts are enabling the health care field to flourish in our community,” Resch and Hogan said. “Many of these outstanding individuals come back to Door County to practice their skills.”

With Door County’s aging population, Hogan and Resch highlighted the importance of keeping local talent in the area when the campaign launched last fall.

As a result of successful campaigns over the last two years, an endowment for the Angel Scholarship Fund will be established later this year.

Students interested in applying for the scholarship can do so at dcmedical.org before April 1.
