VIP Medical Scholar 2025 Recipients

Shelby Ambrose

I chose to go into the medical field because of the passion I have for taking care of people. I’ve been taking care of my mom because of her medical condition for years and I’ve never felt more rewarded to help her. I love the feeling of making a difference in someone’s life, especially a positive one. When it came down to choosing a path, there was no hesitation.

I am planning to pursue a career in physical therapy. The people that inspired me to pursue healthcare growing up were my grandfather- who was a fireman and flight paramedic and my mother who is a nurse. I have been around healthcare my whole life and I have gotten to see firsthand the work they do to help others. I became focused on physical therapy after having an ankle injury junior year of football that required two surgeries and months of physical therapy. We were told I might not be able to play football again but with the help of some great physical therapists I was able to return to the sport I love for my senior year. I returned and made all conference and team MVP. I want to be able to make that kind of difference for someone else and help them reach any goal they have set for themselves.

Addison Mortimer

I chose to pursue a career in the medical field because caring for others has always been an important part of who I am. I believe a career in healthcare will be both challenging and rewarding. Many members of my family work in healthcare and seeing their impact firsthand has shown me how meaningful this field can be. I want a career that is more than just a job, one that allows me to make a difference in others’ lives while also growing personally.

Theresa Najdowski

I chose to pursue a career in nursing because of my passion of helping others. For many years, I have always enjoyed being able to help other people. This passion strengthened when I began working as a CNA. I have learned so many new skills. I have been able to work directly with patients and see the impact it has. I am excited to continue on the path to becoming a nurse.
