Western Missouri Medical Center Auxiliary Awards $5,000 to Local Scholarship Winners

Warrensburg, MO (June 12, 2020)—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, despite financial loss caused by the necessity of canceling two fundraisers and the closure of the gift shop for 6 weeks due to CCOVID-19 the WMMC Auxiliary has awarded $1,000 scholarships to five students. The shop has always been the largest income source for the Auxiliary and has now reopened.

This year’s recipients include Rylee Harrison, RN program at State Fair Community College (SFCC); Kayla Marler, M.S. in Nursing/Nurse Educator at University of Central Missouri (UCM); Brianna Munsterman, 2020 graduate of Warrensburg High School attending UCM for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing; Jayden Roeder, B.S. in Speech-Language Pathology at UCM; Lindsey Smith, RN program at SFCC.

Brianna Munsterman awarded a $1,000 health career scholarship from the WMMC Auxiliary.

Jayden Roeder awarded a $1,000 health career scholarship from the WMMC Auxiliary.

Kayla Marler awarded a $1,000 health career scholarship from the WMMC Auxiliary.

Lindsey Smith awarded a $1,000 health career scholarship from the WMMC Auxiliary.

Rylee Harrison awarded a $1,000 health career scholarship from the WMMC Auxiliary.

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.
