Helene Schwab Fuld had a passionate interest in health during her lifetime. After her death in 1923, her children Leonhard and Florentine created a foundation to honor her memory. Leonhard was a fervent advocate for public health, and in the early 1960’s he focused the foundation’s giving to “the improvement of the health and welfare of student nurses.”

Through this award, ����ֱ��’s nursing program has joined with renowned nursing schools around the country ambassadors for excellence in nursing by the Helene Fuld Health Trust. ����ֱ�� is the only nursing school in Maine and northern New England to achieve this distinction.
