Bothwell Regional Health Center Auxiliary Awards 2018 Health Care Scholarships

Three $2,500 scholarships recently were awarded to students in health care by Bothwell Regional Health Center Auxiliary. Nursing scholarships were given to Samantha Unkel and Stephanie Nicholson, and the Bellamy Scholarship, named for longtime auxiliary volunteer Anna Marie Bellamy, went to Brittany Maher.

Unkel is in the last year of a Bachelor of Science program at Missouri Valley College in Marshall while working at Bothwell Regional Health Center (BRHC). Nicholson is a registered nurse at BRHC and is working on a master’s degree in nursing to become a nurse practitioner. Maher is in the radiologic technician program at State Fair Community College, where she will graduate in May.

Karen Suroff, chairwoman of the BRHC Auxiliary Scholarship Committee, said the Auxiliary was pleased to increase the scholarships this year from $1,500 each to $2,500.

“Congratulations to our scholarship winners,” Suroff said. “The committee wishes them all the best as they continue in their health care careers. It’s our hope that each of them will return to Bothwell and continue to serve our community in the future.”
