The Chautauqua Region Community Foundation is honored to announce the creation of The Resource Center Dr. John Vona "Smile" Fund, an agency endowment fund, established in loving memory of Dr. John Vona by his children Linda Hart, Dr. David Vona, Sandy Stewart, and Daniel Vona.

The family of Sean Cirbus established a fund in the name Sean that aims to bring medical professionals back home to practice in the region.

Thanks to Chautauqua Region Community Foundation scholarships and their financial support, more locals are choosing to return home to make a professional impact in the health care field.
