“The Gianelli Scholarship allowed me to closely examine the opportunities available right in front of me. I left my first ACHE Congress with a renewed sense of direction and a commitment to seize each moment, whether through learning, networking, or embracing new challenges. But none of this would have been possible without HLNY.”
