SOMERWSORTH PainCare recently awarded a $2,195 scholarship to Spaulding High School student Emily Benway so she may attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine in Boston.

Benway was nominated to attend the forum by Wendy Hendryx of Spaulding High School based on her academic excellence, leadership potential and interest in a career in medicine. She earned a $500 scholarship through the leadership program, and PainCare is pleased to help her the rest of the way.

The National Youth Leadership Forum is dedicated to preparing the nation's future physicians for the opportunities and responsibilities that lie ahead. Benway and her fellow students will have the opportunity to participate in intensive concentrations at Boston's technologically advanced medical institutions, where they can study diagnostic tools and specific medical specialties in detail. Benway will receive college credit through forum partner, George Mason University.

"It is with pride and purpose that we support Emily in this unique educational opportunity," said Dr. Michael O'Connell, CEO of PainCare. "With the supreme challenges facing the medical field, we must generate health care professionals who understand how to most efficiently and effectively treat patients and also emphasize prevention as the optimal means of reducing the health-care costs for our nation."
