"Macy's is proud to have helped launch the Go Red Multicultural Scholarship Fund to encourage students nationwide to explore career opportunities that make a direct impact in their communities by joining the fight against heart disease in women," said Bill Hawthorne, Macy's senior vice president of Diversity Strategies.
"Ethnically diverse women are needed in the healthcare field. They can have a very positive impact on the delivery of healthcare services to diverse populations because they understand their communities and they know how to provide care that is meaningful, appropriate and sensitive to their needs," said Eva Gómez, R.N., Go Red Por Tu Corazón spokesperson and staff development specialist in the Department of Nursing at Children's Hospital Boston.
