In August of 2022, The Alabama Chapter of Healthcare Leaders Association and the Birmingham Chapter HLA set up an Endowed Scholarship at Samford University. Scholarships are awarded each academic year to a rising senior enrolled in the bachelor’s or master’s program in the Department of Healthcare Administration and Informatics in the School of Public Health at Samford University.

This year's recipient is AnaKate Andrasko. She received her bachelor's degree from the University of Montevallo and will complete her Master of Healthcare Administration in May of this year. She has accepted a Fellowship with Whitfield Regional Hospital in Demopolis.  AnaKate was recognized at the recent Winter Conference of the Healthcare Leaders Association of Alabama in Birmingham.
