Mary Atmar Johnson Scholarship

Giving Back To The Community

Mary Atmar Johnson was one of the community volunteers who, with members of the medical profession, wished to provide a comprehensive program providing care, comfort and support for those with life-limiting illnesses. Thanks to their grassroots efforts, in March 1985, Tidelands Community Hospice received licensure as one of the first not-for-profit hospices in South Carolina.

To honor her and our founders and to perpetuate the cycle of caring and commitment to those we serve, the Mary Atmar Johnson Scholarship was established. Each year, Tidelands Community Hospice Foundation awards $1,000 scholarships to recipients who are or will be pursuing a career in nursing or social work.
