Congratulations to the newest Marion Joy Morse Scholarship award recipients from the MDIHS class of 2026! They are Lauren Donnell, Willa Dow, Lillian Norwood, Charlotte Stanley, Pixie Urquhart-Asbury, and Luna Wilhelm. Each recipient will receive a scholarship award of $3,500 after successfully completing their first semester of college.

Established to invest in the next generation of medical professionals, the Marion Joy Morse Scholarship provides financial assistance to students from Mount Desert Island, studying in a medical field, helping them achieve their educational goals while preparing to serve their communities. It was created in 1972 by Barbara Ellen Joy, who named it the Marion Joy Morse Scholarship to honor her mother who was the first President of the MDI Health Auxiliary. Since 2025, it has been managed by the Maine Community Foundation in collaboration with the MDI Health Auxiliary scholarship committee chaired by Debbie Dyer who has overseen the program since its inception.

Eligible applicants must either have been born on Mount Desert Island or have attended a school located on Mount Desert Island. The scholarship is available to students pursuing a wide range of healthcare-related educational paths. Students who remain in school may apply to have their scholarship renewed, the program thus providing ongoing support throughout a student`s educational journey. Awarded amounts vary with the number of successful applicants and their academic progress.

The scholarship has long been supported by the Mount Desert Island Health Auxiliary, whose members are dedicated to strengthening healthcare on Mount Desert Island through volunteerism, fundraising, and educational support. Over the years, the Auxiliary has helped talented local students pursue careers in nursing, medicine, allied health professions, and other healthcare fields through the Marion Joy Morse Scholarship Fund.

Did you know that prediabetes often has no symptoms, yet it affects millions of adults? The good news is that type 2 diabetes can often be prevented or delayed through healthy lifestyle changes. 📈💙

MDI Health`s PreventT2 program is a CDC-recognized lifestyle change program designed to help individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes build healthy habits that last. Participants work with a trained lifestyle coach, receive support from others with similar goals, and learn practical strategies for healthy eating, physical activity, stress management, and long-term success.

Research has shown that modest lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. If you`ve been told you have prediabetes or are at increased risk, now is a great time to take action.

Our next PreventT2 session begins September 24th. To learn more or register, visit https://www.mdihospital.org/service-at-mdi-hospital/diabetes-prevention-program-homepage/ or contact Mary Parham at 207.801.5034 or mary.parham@mdihospital.org. 🔗 ...
