Kelly West Named 2025 Umeshchandra Patil Family Educational Award Recipient

Congratulations to Kelly West, surgical coordinator/CST in Witting Surgical Center, for being chosen by the Crouse Health Foundation as the recipient of the 16th annual Umeshchandra Patil Family Educational Award.

Each year, the Patil Award (funded by the Patil Family) provides up to $3,500 to a nurse or technician who wants to pursue continuing education, professional development and training in the area of surgical services.

Kelly will attend the National Association of Surgical Technology conference in Orlando, Florida. We look forward to having Kelly share information on their experience with the other members of their departments upon their return.

Additionally, our heartfelt thanks go to the Patil Family for their generous support and this meaningful investment in the Crouse organization.
