Thirteen high school seniors were awarded the Harvey L. Hall/Hall Ambulance Service Medical Scholarship for the 2016/2017 school year.  The presentations were made by Hall Ambulance leadership during high school ceremonies held at the end of the school year.

The scholarship was created to assist college-bound seniors interested in pursuing an education in healthcare.  As the need for qualified healthcare practitioners in our communities continues to grow, it is the home of Founder and President Harvey L. Hall that a number of the scholarship recipients will one day dedicate themselves to providing quality care to the people of Kern County.
