Luthercare is thrilled to announce team member Erica Gettle, RN, has been awarded a $1,200 scholarship from LeadingAge PA’s 2021 Professional Development Scholarship Program to further her education in the field of nursing.
Gettle serves as a Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator (RNAC) for the Healthcare Center at Luther Acres, a Luthercare community in Lititz, and will use the scholarship toward her educational pursuit of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Excelsior College. Gettle, of Myerstown, joined the Luther Acres team in February 2019. In her role, she coordinates and provides the assessments of residents’ health conditions when being admitted to or residing in the skilled nursing center.
“The scholarship award Erica received is well deserved,” said Mark Kessler, Administrator of the Luther Acres Healthcare Center. “She consistently models the organizational values we are committed to as a faith-based provider: Compassion, Integrity, Teamwork, Connection and Learning. Thanks for all you do, Erica!”
