A mission trip to Peru changed Karis Wilson’s mind about her choice of careers.
“I had always wanted to be a lawyer, since I love to read,” said Wilson. “After volunteering in a medical clinic in Peru, I realized how much I like to help people and how much they rely on and appreciate health care workers. Now I’m going into nursing.”
A 2018 graduate of Bluffton High School and Mennonite Memorial Home (MMH) employee, Wilson is the winner of the Barbara Fleming Memorial Scholarship sponsored by Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO).
