Mark G. Jorgensen Global Nursing Fund
The Global Surgery & Disparities Program partners with the family of Mark Jorgensen to offer the Mark G. Jorgensen Global Nursing Fund.
Nursing is a vital component of global surgery. During medical missions, physicians, clinical and general volunteers come together in under-resourced settings to transform patient lives through surgical and primary care. The purpose of this fund is to provide nurses with scholarships that allow them to participate in University of Minnesota global surgery initiatives.
We honor Mark's legacy as a caring person and passionate world traveler who used his talent as a photographer to capture individuals' unique personalities across the globe. This fund was also established as a tribute to his granddaughter's commitment to using her RN skills to help people receive treatment in areas where modern medical care is limited.
