The HLSMF also recognized Winfield EMTs. The Winfield EMTs are truly at the forefront of first responders. Whether it is a medical transfer, assistance to staff at William Newton Hospital or an emergency situation, Winfield EMTs provide vital support and service to Winfield and a good portion of the Cowley County communities. The HLSMF awarded a $2,000 Continuing Education Grant to the Winfield EMTs for additional training purposes. |

Founded in 1943 by the Snyder family, friends and community leaders, the HLSMF has had a long standing commitment to medical research and to the community of Winfield that has been so generous in its support throughout the years. As a way to give back to the community and to support the next generation of entrants into medical and scientific fields, HLSMF established the scholarship and grant program in 2003. Two of the primary goals of the program are to help deserving Winfield students pursue careers in these professions, and to minimize the financial burden they incur during these academic endeavors. |
