School of Occupational Therapy receives grant from Baptist Healing Trust
The School of Occupational Therapy was recently awarded a $16,600 grant from the Baptist Healing Trust to support OTD residency projects and development of compassionate care in the curriculum. Each OTD student will receive a monetary stipend for resource materials specific to their residency and budget. Dr. Ruth Ford secured the grant and serves as the principle investigator. Dr. Christine Manville is the associate investigator.
The goal of the Baptist Healing Trust’s grantmaking is to increase the access of vulnerable populations to compassionate and affordable healthcare and to support and enhance the success of the non-profit organizations it funds by offering funding and consulting to organizations to support cultures centered on compassionate care.
Since its inception in 2002, the Trust has awarded over $50 million dollars of grants in Middle Tennessee.
