Description

Description Scholarship Goal In honor of Dr. Lorraine Stanfield, a beloved primary care physician at DotHouse Health and a professor at the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine for over 20 years, the Lorraine Stanfield Primary Care Scholarship is established to support young medical professionals interested in primary care, education, and community health. This scholarship offers a learning environment where recipients can contribute meaningfully to the organization’s mission. Dr. Stanfield was a strong advocate for early exposure to primary care and community health, believing it vital to nurturing a diverse and vibrant healthcare workforce. Funded by donations in her honor, this scholarship seeks to promote Dr. Stanfield’s passion for community health, primary care, and medical education.
