About the GHCENF
The GEM Health Care Educational (GHCENF) Nursing Foundation was created in 2015 by Gloria and Syed M. Hussain to aid employees of our facilities pursuing a career in nursing or to their children pursuing higher education.
Our main objective is to create higher standards of education and professionalism within our facilities and within the field of nursing in general. We also aim to improve our employees’ quality of life by alleviating the financial burden that tuition can have on families.
In 2021, initiated by Director of People Relations, Mahmood Hussain, GEM increased our investment to offer this bursary to two selected applicants per year. The GHCENF bursary can now cover up to two years course of study and up to $5,000 per school year per selected applicant.
