Wood-Bond Legacy Scholarship
Midwives play a vital role in women’s health and pregnancy care. Their importance extends beyond prenatal care and childbirth to encompass a holistic, supportive approach to care throughout a woman’s reproductive life. Excellent nurse midwifery care can have ripple effects throughout entire communities and improve the health and lives of so many.
This scholarship seeks to support a nurse midwifery student who plans to dedicate their career to advancing care for women and families in the state of South Carolina. It is named in honor of two Certified Nurse-Midwives who dedicated their long careers to improving women’s health care and advancing the field of midwifery in South Carolina, Leigh Wood and Sharon Bond.
