Priscilla Detre Memorial Scholarship
A woman of the 1960s, Priscilla Detre believed that she should be able to be financially independent. Nursing was the profession she believed would allow her to do this. Priscilla was a member of the last graduating class of the Cleveland Mount Sinai hospital RN diploma program in 1970. After graduating, she worked at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Warren in the step-down unit for Coronary and Intensive Care. Priscilla worked there as a nurse for over 20 years. As a student at Mount Sinai she had an opportunity to learn about the very beginnings of dialysis, and it fascinated her. Years later, she had the opportunity to go work for St. Elizabeth’s outpatient dialysis and shortly after accepted a position with CDC Center for Dialysis Care in Cleveland, and worked there for over 20 years as well. Priscilla enjoyed the relationships she had with her dialysis patients and her 45-year career as a nurse. An eligible student for this scholarship will be an undergraduate Nursing major, and preference will be given to graduates of Lordstown High School.
