In 2008, Henry and Sylvia Wong made a significant donation to the St. Joseph’s Foundation in San Joaquin County to establish the Henry and Sylvia Wong Nursing Education Endowment.
This endowment will support the annual continuing education symposium named the Henry and Sylvia Wong Symposium for Nurses. The symposium will be organized collaboratively by San Joaquin Delta College, St. Joseph’s Medical Center, and the Central Valley Nursing Leaders Association.
As the Stockton Record later reported, Dr. Wong, a radiation oncologist at St. Joseph’s Regional Cancer Center for more than 30 years, wanted to provide tangible support to nurses in the community.
I value our nurses so much that I wanted to do something to support all of the nurses in our community.
Dr. Henry Wong, M.D.
The next Wong Symposium for Nurses will take place on March 13, 2009. You can read about it here.
