A Generous Gift from a Beloved Donor

THE HRMC Foundation has received a donation of $2,500 in memory of Selma Laabs, an HRMC Foundation donor and volunteer since 2008.

The gift will be used to help provide nursing scholarships through the Healthy Huron Commitment Scholarship program.

“Selma was passionate about nursing,” says Shawn Martin, executive director of the HRMC Foundation. “Her family feels she would be proud to know that her gift is helping to support the future of health care in our community.”

A GIVING SPIRIT

Selma had a passion for helping others. She was dedicated to her job as a nurse’s assistant at Huron Regional Medical Center, where she worked for 20 years in various departments, including the surgical floor. After retiring, she became a Pink Lady for the HRMC Auxiliary, and in 2016, she was honored as Auxiliary Volunteer of the Year. Selma was also a faithful supporter of the HRMC Foundation.

The generous donation will help HRMC provide a nursing scholarship in partnership with Build Dakota Scholarship Fund. Scholarships are open to students pursuing careers in health care who are committed to working at a medical facility in the Huron area after graduation.
