Vidant Edgecombe Employees Establish Baker Scholarship

To honor retiring Vidant Edgecombe Hospital President Wick Baker, employees established a scholarship in his honor at Edgecombe Community College. The Wick Baker Leading the Way Scholarship will benefit students who exhibit leadership qualities and a passion for the health and well-being of Edgecombe residents. Baker, who retired from Vidant Edgecombe in November, has been a member of the ECC Board of Trustees since 2007, and he served as board chair from 2013 to 2017.
