Hamnah Khan, a master of health administration graduate student at Stony Brook University, has been selected as the 2024 Ann Marie Brown Memorial Scholarship recipient. This $2,000 scholarship is awarded annually by the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council (NSHC) and its Communications Committee.
Khan earned her bachelor of science degree in health science with a concentration in healthcare management this past spring from Stony Brook University. Her passion for healthcare administration crystalized while serving as an administrative intern for Northwell Health’s Family Medicine Service Line. She assisted in various operational duties at the health system’s Backstretch Employee Service Team Healthcare Clinic at Belmont Racetrack. To help the administrative team enhance knowledge between team members, Khan established the use of REDCap project dashboards and trained administrators in its use.
Khan has to her credit a long list of volunteer accomplishments, including coordinator for the Muslim Girls’ Youth Group at the Selden Mosque, serving as a summer camp counselor, and holding several leadership roles with the Muslim Interscholastic Tournament, an educational non-profit that offers annual regional and national tournaments for high school students.
The Ann Marie Brown Memorial Scholarship has been awarded since 1994 and commemorates the late vice president for government and public affairs at the Hospital Council. Brown served in this role from 1983-1993. The scholarship is offered to a college junior, senior, or post-graduate student who is both a resident of Long Island and studies communications/marketing, journalism, or healthcare administration.
