RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — Miss America Teresa Scanlan paid a visit to Richland, Wash., this week to chat with patients at Kadlec Regional Medical Center.
The Tri-City Herald (http://is.gd/9fcHqQ ) reports she visited the hospital on Friday as an ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. That’s a role Scanlan has played since being crowned in January at age 17.
Now 18, she’s the youngest reigning Miss America since 1937, and the first to visit the Tri-Cities.
Her visit was arranged by local entrepreneur and philanthropist George Garlick. He has ties to the Miss America programs in Washington and Nebraska.
