Andrei Grati, R.N., has been awarded the 2015 Ruth and William O. Sass, M.D. Scholarship. 

Named in honor of Dr. and Mrs. William O. Sass, the endowed scholarship, made to the Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center Foundation, was first awarded in 1998 to promote excellence in the field of nursing. Nearly $50,000 in assistance has been awarded to nursing students since its inception.
