The Daniel S. Salisbury Memorial Scholarship is given each year in honor of beloved employee, Dan Salisbury, PT, who lost his battle with cancer in 2009. Dan worked at RFGH for more than 30 years as a physical therapist and Rehab Manager. During his career he mentored many physical therapy students and Rehab new hires. The scholarship is made possible through employee donations and year-long fundraising efforts including an annual Motorcycle Ride in Dan's honor.
