Rebirth Advanced Healing Makes $10,000 Donation to the Boone McCrary, RN Memorial Scholarship Fund in Honor of Local Nursing Hero

GREENEVILLE, T.N. – Rebirth Advanced Healing and Rebirth Advanced Healing Mgmt proudly announce a combined $15,000 donation to the Boone McCrary, RN Memorial Scholarship Fund. The fund was created to provide assistance for aspiring second-career nurses in memory of Boone McCrary, a beloved nurse who tragically lost his life as he was attempting to save the life of a civilian from the rapid floodwaters caused by Hurricane Helene.

The donation was presented on Saturday, November 16, at an event hosted by Greeneville Community Hospital, Boone’s employer at the time of his passing.

“We are honored to be a part of Boone’s legacy and hope this donation serves as a reminder that we all have a role to play in caring for our community,” said Dr. Christopher Mason, CEO of Rebirth Advanced Healing. “Boone exemplified this commitment to service, and through this scholarship, his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of nurses.”

According to a statement from Ballad Health:

“Boone was the ultimate caregiver who was kind and compassionate with a larger-than-life personality.” 

Tragically, Boone’s life was cut short in the flash floods of Hurricane Helene, but his legacy lives on through this scholarship fund, which honors his commitment to nursing and healthcare.

“When I heard the news of Boone’s tragic passing, I felt compelled to be a part of something to ensure that his act of selflessness will never be forgotten,” said Trey Stapleton, Rebirth Advanced Healing Mgmt owner. “I am honored to give to this fund to keep his legacy alive.”
