Doug Brant Memorial Scholarship

"You can’t really separate any part of the human being. Nutrition, life style, physical, spiritual and emotional well-being - all of this is very closely connected. In Isaiah 45:2 the Bible says, ‘I will make the crooked places straight’ and I’d like to help others in that way. I would like to learn how to put these pieces together in a way that is accessible to people for their entire wellbeing.” - Doug Brant

Doug Brant was a long-time home health and hospice nurse. He attended the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at Wenatchee Valley College (WVC) in 2019-20, where he also received his Associate's Degree in Nursing in 2000. He joined Providence Home Services King County 17 years ago, then went on to work for Providence Hospice of Seattle and most recently he worked for Providence VNA Home Health in Spokane. He was known for being incredibly kind, compassionate, and spiritual. Doug was someone who was always willing to help in a time of need. Outside of work he was a friend, a brother, uncle, musician, and treasurer of the Washington State Nurses Association at Providence VNA.

Doug lost his life while on the job in an act of senseless violence. To memorialize his compassionate nature and honor his career, Doug's family has established a nursing scholarship endowment at the Wenatchee Valley College Foundation. This scholarship will last in perpetuity and support BSN students.

The Wenatchee Valley College Foundation was incorporated in 1973 and is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation organized under Washington law. Tax ID 23-7319272
