Administered by Yavapai Community College’s Foundation, the proceeds from the endowment will help fund the educations of Haven Health Sedona employees and their family members pursuing healthcare careers through Yavapai Community College
Following a tragic accident at the age of 25, Barbara Gehring was cared for by her biological kin and the nurses and staff at Haven Health Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Sedona. Barbara lived at Haven Health Sedona for more than 25 years before passing away on Christmas Day 2020.
To honor Barbara and at the same time thank her Haven “family” for their caring and kindness, her brother, Douglas, of Mountain Home, Idaho, and mother, Gertrude, of Sedona, established the Barbara Gehring Endowed Scholarship with the Yavapai College Foundation. The initial contribution from the family was $202,000.
Proceeds from the endowment will help fund the educations of Haven Health Sedona employees and their family members pursuing healthcare careers through Yavapai College.
