Medical-Dental Procurement Interest Free Loan
The Medical Dental Procurement Board has been established to see that the needs of the community are met to establish people in the fields of medicine and dentistry.
The original Board was established in 1972 and was successful in acquiring three doctors to begin their practice in Rockford. In 1994, it was decided that our needs for medical and dental doctors had been met. The Board decided that it would use the funding to make interest free loans to graduates of Parkway High School who would be entering the field of dentistry or medicine. As of this time we have made loans to twenty-one students.
Members of the Board are:
- Evelyn Beerbower
- Dr. John Granger
- Dan Henkle
- Susan Miller
- Marcia Ripley
- Dr. Jerry Sell
