Warrensburg, MO (May 3, 2018)—Each spring the Western Missouri Medical Center (WMMC) Auxiliary sponsors the Health Care Career Scholarships for students who are pursuing or furthering their education in any health care field. Recipients are selected by the WMMC Auxiliary Scholarship Committee based on financial need, scholastic ability, work plans and a demonstrated interest in health care. This year, the WMMC Auxiliary awarded $1,000 scholarships to five students.

This year’s recipients include: Stephanie Culp, Nursing at State Fair Community College; Cameron Cooper, 2018 graduate of Concordia High School attending UMKC School of Pharmacy; Kaci English, Bachelor of Science in Nursing at University of Central Missouri; Shawnna Dean-Youngblood, Diagnostic Medical Sonography at Washburn University; and Jennifer Patterson, Certified Wound Specialist at the American Board of Wound Management.

As educational expenses are rapidly rising and the demand for health care workers increases, there is a continuing need for additional funds. Donations are encouraged and appreciated by the WMMC Auxiliary to ensure the opportunity to provide additional monetary assistance for our future health care providers. Donations may be made to the WMMC Auxiliary for the Health Care Career Scholarship Fund and sent to WMMC Auxiliary, 403 Burkarth Road, Warrensburg, Missouri, 64093.
