HRMC Auxiliary Awards Three $1,500 Health Care Scholarships

February 07, 2022

The Huron Regional Medical Center (HRMC) Auxiliary is pleased to announce the winners of three $1,500 scholarships awarded to local students pursuing a career in health care.

The scholarships, which are awarded annually, are provided through money earned from items sold at the gift shops located in the main hospital and Central Towers lobbies. Recipients include:

Elle Hoops, who is pursuing a Bachelor of Science at the University of South Dakota working towards a biology major and interdisciplinary sciences minor with an ultimate focus on pre-med. Her goal is to pursue a career in dermatology.
Kylie Talbott, who is pursuing her nursing degree at the Arizona College of Nursing in Tempe. She chose a health care profession because she loves to help other people and after taking a CNA course in high school, she chose her career path.
Kyra Thielbar, who is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in nursing from South Dakota State University. She went on a mission trip to Haiti two years ago, which made her realize that she wanted to enter the medical field.

The purpose of the Auxiliary is to promote and advance the welfare of HRMC by rendering service to patients and assisting with and contributing to charitable projects. As members of the Auxiliary, volunteers serve daily, providing refreshments and assistance in hospital lounges, assisting visitors at the information desks and delivering floral arrangements and newspapers to patients.

The Auxiliary also contributes to various projects at the hospital including equipment and furnishings. Funds are raised through annual events, gift shop/candy counter sales and membership dues.
