Lima Memorial Health System has awarded scholarships to three local graduates who intend to pursue medical careers after high school.
Allie Honigford and Ryan Utendorf each received $1,500 through the Lima Memorial Auxiliary Scholarship, while Kylie Shafer was awarded a $2,000 scholarship for her volunteer work at the hospital.
Honigford, who graduated from Ottoville High School this spring, plans to study pharmacy at Ohio Northern University. Utendorf recently graduated from Lima Senior and will study biomedical science at Xavier University, with plans to become a physician. And Shafer, who volunteered as a phlebotomy and radiology receptionist as a student at Columbus Grove, will attend Rhodes State College in the fall to study occupational therapy.
