For those who knew our founder, Dr. Robert Nelson and his wife, Dorothy Nelson, you are well aware of their dedication to the highest quality medical care.  And, you know that there was much more.

Meland Foundation was created to pursue the mission that there is more to the medical field than simply providing expert high quality care.  Excellent medical care for a patient is about relationships: everyone (medical professional, family, and the community) plays an important, critical role as caregivers to those facing serious illnesses.  We have seen and we celebrate that one person does make a difference.

Enjoy thinking about the difference made by those people who have touched your life as you read Gianna’s essay that had her win the Meland Nurse Scholarship Award and had her win our hearts.
