After sorting through 67 applications, the Lima Memorial Auxiliary chose three graduates pursuing a career in the medical field to receive a scholarship. In their search, the auxiliary says they look at a student's academics, community service, and what influenced them to choose their career path. For the winner of the $2,000 Volunteen Scholarship, Kylie Shafer, she put around 120 volunteer hours in Lima Memorial's phlebotomy and radiology departments in 2018 and 2019.
As school years wrap up, Lima Memorial Health System is rewarding some of those hard working students.
Both the Lima Memorial Auxiliary and Lima Memorial School of Nursing Alumnae handed out scholarships to students who plan to pursue a career in the medical field. Four students in total received a $1,500 scholarship. Bonnie Shook of the selection committee said it's great to help out these students because they are our future. Also recognized were the 'Volunteen of the Year' and the '2019 Volunteen Scholarship.' Madison Wiseman, one of the recipients, said volunteering helped introduce her to the medical field.
