The BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Foundation awarded a $10,000 scholarship to Baptist Health Sciences University Senior Nursing student Anthony Guinn after he was selected as a 2023 Power of We Scholar by the National Association of Health Services Executives (NAHSE) – Memphis Chapter.
Anthony was inspired to become a nurse by his mother, who has been a nurse since he was 7 years old. He said the scholarship not only helps him pay for school, but is a source of encouragement to continue working toward his goals. He hopes to eventually earn a doctorate.
