Nursing Fun Fact
Here's a fun fact!
Here's another one!
Rockville Nursing Home, Inc. (RNH) was founded in 1971 as a non-stock, non-profit nursing home with a 100-bed capacity. It was created as a Hill-Burton Act related nursing home and gave all its profits to care for those unable to afford it in our community.
Since before the doors opened in 1977, RNH was governed by an all-volunteer, uncompensated Board of Governors. An exceptional staff of professionals working in a challenging but rewarding environment resulted in RNH enjoying a sterling reputation for care and service to its residents. RNH earned top awards for state-sponsored consumer surveys for all 20 years that such surveys were done by the state of Maryland. As a small, standalone facility, the COVID-19 pandemic and Maryland’s burdensome Provider Taxes hit RNH particularly hard, ultimately leading to its sale in late 2020.
Wanting to continue its mission of service to the community, and recognizing the vital role of nurses in the caregiving industry, the Board of Governors changed the name to Rockville Nursing Home Foundation, Inc. (“Foundation”) and updated its mission to “fund[ing] scholarships for deserving nursing students committed to the compassionate care of others.” The proceeds of the sale were used to establish an organization tasked with raising funds for academic scholarships, screening and evaluating applications, and managing the disbursement of scholarships. The maximum award is $4,000 per student per semester ($8,000 total per student per academic year).
The Board’s scholarship philosophy is to source a pool of applicants who have proven through continued employment and/or education in the nursing field that they understand and enjoy this challenging field and are ready to take the next step in their careers.
The Foundation is a Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.*
