Diane Postler-Slattery Memorial Nursing Endowed Scholarship Fund

Throughout her entire career, Diane Postler-Slattery, Ph.D., was a passionate, driven advocate for nurses and the nursing profession. While her journey led her beyond the bedside and to later serve in the role of president and CEO of the Midland-based health system, MyMichigan Health, Diane’s love for nursing remained within her. She placed a high importance on education and making it accessible to all those sharing the same passion to make a difference in the lives of others. To honor her legacy, the Diane Postler-Slattery Memorial Nursing Endowed Scholarship has been established to benefit future caregivers and pave the way for the next generation of nurses.

This scholarship seeks to assist one nursing student annually.
