BRIDGET NESKO OVARIAN CANCER FOUNDATION

The Bridget Nesko Ovarian Cancer Foundation (formerly, the Bridget Nesko Memorial Scholarship Foundation) is dedicated to the memory of Bridget Flynn Nesko, BSN, RN, who lost her life on November 28, 2022 from the ravages of ovarian cancer at the age of 55. 

Overcoming much difficulty during her brief life, Bridget achieved remarkable career success in healthcare and healthcare education, publishing, and broadcasting, while demonstrating her deep love, concern and commitment to family, friends, patients and total strangers who required help.

Bridget’s Foundation is committed to defying ovarian cancer by:

• Providing and promoting ovarian cancer education and awareness to the medical community, the public and the media through the Bridget Nesko Ovarian Cancer Education Center, and;
• Working to defy ovarian cancer’s impact on victims, caregivers, and their families through access to unbiased information, evaluation, testing, intervention, treatment and (as needed) end-of-life support for victims and their families.

The Foundation also supports other nonprofit organizations committed to the fight against ovarian cancer.

Through private funding provided by the founder, the Foundation also grants financial support for programs intended to honor Bridget Nesko’s memory and legacy, including awarding financial stipends and career advice to children of families impacted by ovarian cancer, as well as grief and bereavement counseling to individuals and families impacted by the loss of a loved one to ovarian cancer.
