The Floyd Valley Healthcare Auxiliary has announced they’ve awarded four $2000 scholarships to area students pursuing careers in healthcare-related fields. This year, the scholarship program received 27 applications from outstanding area students demonstrating remarkable accomplishments, leadership, community involvement, and strong motivation to serve others through healthcare careers.
The 2026 recipients represent two high-school seniors, and two individuals pursuing additional education in a health-care related field: Grace Galles, a senior at Remsen St. Mary’s to study pharmacy at Drake University, Peyton Beeck, a senior at Hinton High School to study pre-med at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lana Ruden, studying nursing at Western Iowa Community College, and Jordyn Harpenau, studying occupational therapy at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Floyd Valley says the Auxiliary’s scholarship program reflects its ongoing commitment to fostering the next generation of healthcare professionals in the Floyd Valley service area. Each recipient was selected based on academic excellence, community involvement, and a strong dedication to pursuing a career in the medical field. Congratulations to all recipients!
