The Good Samaritan Health Services Foundation is pleased to announce the 2026 recipients of the Carol Shively Memorial Nursing Scholarship. This year’s $500 scholarships have been awarded to Amber Haggerty and Tailyr Bush in recognition of their commitment to pursuing careers in nursing.
This annual scholarship supports Rugby-area students who are either pursuing or preparing to pursue a nursing career.

This includes Heart of America Medical Center in Rugby, its clinics in Rugby, Maddock, and Dunseith, as well as Haaland Estates Basic Care and Assisted Living Facility.
The Foundation congratulates Amber and Tailyr and wishes them continued success as they further their education and serve in the healthcare field.
