SYLACAUGA, Ala. – The Betty Grier Gallaher Memorial Scholarship was created in loving memory of one nurse who dedicated over four decades of her career to caring for patients and team members at Coosa Valley Medical Center.
Betty Grier Gallaher served in many roles, but her heart always led her back to the bedside – mentoring young nurses, working midnight shifts, and exemplifying what it means to truly care.
This scholarship is awarded annually to nursing students who share Betty’s passion for patient care and have a desire to serve at Coosa Valley Medical Center.
Her son, Carson E. Grier, Jr., said, “I’m just smiling from ear to ear and tear to tear! So thankful that my mom’s legacy is still being felt. She loved the baby nurses as she called them. Now, the scholarship helps baby nurses get their degrees.”
See the graphic for details of qualifying for the scholarship. To apply or donate to the scholarship fund, please contact Lisa Sanders at (256) 401-4153, or by emailing her at [email protected].
Let Betty’s legacy live on – one nurse at a time.
