Tuchscherer Rugby-Area Health Endowment
Provides $3,000 in Support to 2026 Healthcare Education Recipients
Heart of America Medical Center recently celebrated four 2026 scholarship recipients at the Tuchscherer Recognition Luncheon September 1, 2026. Through the Tuchscherer Endowment, $3,000 was distributed among this year’s recipients to support their education.
Jim and Gerd Tuchscherer, founders of the Tuchscherer Endowment, also surprised the recipients with an additional $10,000 gift, providing each scholarship recipient with an additional $2,500 toward their education.
HAMC is grateful to Jim and Gerd Tuchscherer for their continued generosity and commitment to supporting the education and future of our healthcare team. Congratulations to all of the 2026 scholarship recipients!
Jim and Gerd Tuchscherer established this endowment to support healthcare education in the Rugby area, and the community is encouraged to help continue its growth. Your generosity can help provide ongoing opportunities for local healthcare professionals to pursue education, advance their skills, and strengthen the future of healthcare in our community.

Dear GSHS Foundation Supporters,
I hope this letter finds you well and in good health. On behalf of Good Samaritan Health Services (GSHS) Foundation, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your ongoing support and commitment to improving healthcare in our community. Over the years, generous contributions have made a significant impact on the lives of countless individuals. Donations have played a critical role in many projects from our Build 2024 Campaign, Twice Blessed, Heart of America Hospice, and multiple building renovations, and essential equipment purchases that directly enhance the quality of care we provide.
It's not about the services within the hospital walls; your support has a ripple effect throughout our community. We strive to positively influence the well-being of those beyond our immediate facility. Your contributions enable us to extend our reach and make a lasting difference in the lives of families and individuals in our surrounding area.
As we continue our mission to provide exceptional healthcare, we are currently focusing on Build 2024, Otto Bremer Trust Matching Grant, and the Rugby Health Endowment. Your support in these endeavors will help advance the well-being of our communities through compassionate, patient-centered care. Thank you once again for being a vital part of our healthcare community. Together, we can continue to make a positive and lasting impact on the health and well-being of those we serve.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Joshua Mattson
