In October of 2021 Pat Patton and Julia Miller began deciding how best to give back to their community and who would be best served by these gifts. Moved by the heroic efforts of healthcare workers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and inspired by the incredible care they have received from nurses over the years, they established the $10,000 Grace M Patton and Gloria J Haveman Nursing Scholarship. Named in honor of their mothers, the purpose of the scholarship is to be an incentive to beginning or completing an educational career path in nursing.

In the spring of 2023, the second Patton & Haveman scholarship award was given to Kristen Andrew, a nurse practitioner/ MSN student at the University of Cincinnati and employee of TriHealth. Pat & his daughter Corinne had the opportunity to meet Kristen Andrew recently and discuss the impact of this scholarship and her plans for her future.
