“

I was raised in Abingdon, Virginia, and being from a small rural town, I have seen firsthand the challenges faced by medically underserved communities. My family instilled in me the values of hard work and of giving back to the community by serving others. I will work hard to play a role in diminishing the healthcare disparities that exist

in rural regions, and I will, to the best of my abilities, in medicine and by other means, strive to better my community.” Jonas Lane ’28 VCOM-Virginia, H. Pat and Nancy Eisenhart Artis Student Athlete Endowed Scholarship
