GEM Health Care Educational Nursing Foundation
The GEM Health Care Educational (GHCENF) Nursing Foundation was created in 2015 by Gloria and Syed M. Hussain as a series of bursaries to employees of our health care facilities pursuing a career in nursing or to their children pursuing higher education.
Our main objective is to create higher standards of education and professionalism within our facilities and within the field of nursing in general. We also aim to improve our employees’ quality of life by alleviating the financial burden that tuition can have upon families.
In 2021, initiated by Mahmood Hussain, Director of People Relations, we are proud to offer a pioneering educational fund here in Nova Scotia. GHCE has increased our investment in our community of employees, now offering a bursary to two selected applicants per year which could cover a 2-year course of study and up to $5000 per school year.
