It is important the youth of our Region have a fair and exceptional chance at getting a great education so that they are successful and fulfilled in whatever career they choose. Every year since 2006, Calista has awarded more than $200,000 in scholarships and six to 12 internships annually. For the longevity and success of our Region, it is important we invest in our youth. They are our future medical practitioners, teachers and leaders.

Many Calista scholarship and internship recipients have gone on to make a significant impression on our communities, the Region and the state. We commend them for all they have done and continue to do; they are an inspiration to many.
