Current St. Vincent Employees
Gilmore Nursing Scholarship
Nelles Nurse Scholarship
The Nelles Nurse Program was created in 2002 by the Ralph Nelles Family. The Nelles Nurse program supports our medical community, ensuring we maintain the highest healthcare standards, and retain outstanding nurses and medical professionals in Montana.
The Nelles Nurse Program provides scholarships to student nurses during their schooling, allowing them to work directly out of nursing school at St. Vincent Healthcare. The program also provides financial support to medical professionals at St. Vincent Healthcare looking to advance their medical skills and knowledge. Recently, this program funded the transformation of the Mansfield Center Library into a hands-on, working laboratory for medical professionals to work on dummies in real time, honing their medical skills.
