Emily Hartley Selected As Mercer University School Of Medicine Nathan Deal Scholar Emily Hartley and former Georgia Governor Nathan Deal Emily Hartley (Class of'2025) Was recently selected as a Mer cer University School of Medi cine (MUSM) Nathan Deal Scholar, announced MUSM Dean Jean Sumner, M.D. Nathan Deal Scholars are se lected based on their strong lies to rural Georgia, character, leadership qualities, commu nity involvement, and their likelihood of serving in rural, underserved Georgia after their scholarship obligations are met. The recipients receive 85-100% of tuition for up to four academic years. “The Nathan Deal Scholar ship enables and supports stu dents who want to return to rural communities to become outstanding physicians. These scholars represent the highest commitment to providing excel lent health care to rural Geor gians,” said Dr. Sumner. “This scholarship removes a financial burden of medical school debt, which has been a perceived hurdle for doctors going into less populated areas. With this support, students plan on prac ticing quality medicine in the small towns they know and love,” The mission of investing in students from rural Georgia so that they can return to their hometowns virtually debt-free and be trained to serve the ru ral, underserved communities of Georgia is what drew Hartley to the Nathan Deal Scholarship. She knows the health care struggles in these areas of Georgia and hopes to someday give back to her hometown community by returning to practice family medicine or ob stetrics and gynecology. “1 am very excited to have been selected as a Nathan Deal Scholar,” said Hartley. “It has always been a dream of mine to practice in medically underserved areas of Georgia so that I can give back to com munities such as my own.” Emily is the daughter of Ken and Kristi Hartley and grand daughter of Gerald and Linda Parker, Glenda Hartley and the late Ray Hartley. “The Nathan Deal Scholars will make a difference in the health status of Georgians,” added Dr. Sumner. “This schol arship is one more way Mercer is reinforcing its commitment to rural Georgia.” Reynolds Man And Rupert Woman Face Burglary And Drug Charges In Taylor Co.
