Fairview Park Hospital is proud to announce a donation to Middle Georgia State University in the amount of $85,000 in memory of its late CEO, Don Avery. This donation will be added to an existing scholarship, the Don and Fara Avery Endowed Nursing Scholarship, personally created by Don in 2022. Fairview Park Hospital, an HCA facility, donated $75,000 to the already existing Don and Fara Avery Endowed Scholarship, and Fairview’s medical staff donated $10,000 as a way to honor the late CEO and friend.
"I knew Don for many years and cannot think of any gift that would make him happier than this investment in educating quality nurses within the Dublin/Laurens County area," said Nancy White, MGA's vice president of University Advancement. "He was so passionate about his community and the quality of healthcare available to the people who live there. This gift to the Don and Fara Avery Endowed Nursing Scholarship will help many MGA students realize their dreams of becoming nurses and they, in turn, will impact countless lives through quality nursing care."
