WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Addalyn Cusack, a 2024 graduate of Assumption High School, has been awarded the Dr. Elmer and Frances Debus Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship fund was established with the Aspirus Riverview Foundation by Merrill and Mary Redman. Mary is the daughter of Elmer and Frances Debus.
Dr. Debus was a physician in Wisconsin Rapids for 33 years. He and his wife will always be remembered for their kindness, service, and generosity to our community. As a physician, Dr. Debus valued those who assisted him in caring for patients. Without the support of people like nurses, therapists, pharmacists, and technicians, he believed he would not have been able to provide such exceptional care.
To honor the importance of medical support roles, one scholarship in the amount of $1,000 is awarded to a student who plans to continue their education in such a role. Even more important is that the student demonstrates outstanding performance, a commitment to community, and the determination to become a future healthcare hero.
Aspirus Riverview Foundation supports community-based efforts that align with improving the community's greatest health and wellness needs. If you wish to make a difference in the health and wellness of our local community, please contact the foundation at 715-421-7488.
