Scholarships Awarded
In case you missed it.
One Chicago student and three others were recently selected to be first to receive Leading by Legacy (LBL) scholarships to further their education despite seemingly overwhelming obstacles.
The students, four of 87 who applied for the awards, wrote essays detailing how their lives had been impacted by violence or the special needs of a family member. In their reflections, the writers expressed vulnerability and anger, as well as profound compassion and forgiveness for the perpetrators.
“We’re very proud of all the applicants,’’ said Legacy Healthcare Solutions (LHS) CEO Dr. Ann W. Jackson. LBL is the education foundation of LHS. Every one of them is a hero in their own space.”
All applicants received a drawstring backpack. In addition, winners will receive $500 toward tuition.
Congratulations to: Andrhea Massey and Andriel Blake. They both suffered a loss to violence and received the “Good Neighbor” award.
Chicagoan Joanna Piphus and Nicholas Gautille received the” Denise Bowers-Harrison” award for the support they offered their families when a parent or sibling required their help following an injury or illness. Visit leadingbylegacy.org/news-events to learn more.

Reflections
The heartfelt reflections of Legacy Healthcare Solutions CEO Dr. Ann W. Jackson were recently published in Georgia State University Magazine.
Jackson, a 1987 Georgia State University alum, penned a Letter to the Editor in response to a story previously reported about Allison Webb’s efforts to keep alive the memory of her son, Lee. “Life After Lee’’ discussed a scholarship foundation Allison created after her 19-year-old son was murdered while attending the school.
“I have the honor to bear witness to the highs and lows that children and families deal with when health challenges and adversity come their way,” wrote Jackson. “Through the 28 years I have been in practice, I consider them all heroes.”

As the weather warms and our minds turn to fun and relaxing summer events, Legacy Healthcare Solutions CEO Ann W. Jackson encourages us to think of those who care for others. Caregivers' duties Can seem endless and overwhelming. Take time to check in with caregivers in the upcoming weeks and months. "Find ways to offer opportunities to share a laugh or a chance to do something fun. Consider visiting with them while they care for the loved one. Remember your presence does matter."
Legacy Healthcare Solutions is grateful for the support of online scholarship resources fastweb.com, as well as scholarshipexperts.com and supercollege.com. The scholarship sites listed the Denise Bowers-Harrison Memorial and the Leading by Legacy Good Neighbor scholarships for students pursing post secondary education.
