Disease Prevention and Treatment is one of Rotary’s causes.
This aligns well with the WSU College of Medicine.
Their goal is to address challenging health care environments
with a focus on rural communities,
Tribal Nations, and people who have been historically marginalized.
Our shared goal is to endow Rotary scholarships
that will support four medical students every year, indefinitely.
Bellevue Sunrise Rotary is partnering with Washington’s Champion for student success, education excellence and career readiness. The goal is to to help reduce the shortage of physicians in vast areas of the state through the Rotary Scholarship in Medicine that has been estblished at the Washington State University (WSU) Foundation.
