Ron Howell Caregiver College Scholarship from 180 Medical
180 Medical is proud to present a caregiver scholarship opportunity for college students. We often speak with caregivers and witness the compassionate care they demonstrate despite the challenges and financial hardships that sometimes go hand-in-hand with caregiving. In honor of caregivers, 180 Medical created the Ron Howell Caregiver College Scholarship Award as a way to give back.

About Ron Howell
Before serving as President of 180 Medical, Ron led a long and rich career in the United States Air Force, where he learned and embraced the core values of “integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do.” When Ron continued his career path as a civilian after retiring from the service, he found a perfect fit at 180 Medical, where he served in leadership and sales roles over the nearly 15 years of his career here before taking over as President of 180 Medical in 2015.
Ron understands how important the role of a caregiver can be, and he feels that the values that have guided his life and career are central components of caregiving. We’ve created the Ron Howell Caregiver Scholarship in his name.
