Dr. Paul & Carol Hohm Scholarship Announced

Through the generosity of a family with a legacy of service to local health care, local students were recently awarded scholarships via the HRMC Foundation from the Dr. Paul and Carol Hohm Healthcare Fund at the South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF). 

The Dr. Paul and Carol Hohm Healthcare Fund was established at SDCF in 2018 by their daughter, Marilyn Hoyt, and sons, Dr. Robert Hohm and Dr. Richard Hohm.  Jillian Reno, who is enrolled in the Licensed Practical Nursing program at Southeast Technical College in Huron, has received the 2025 scholarship award. Jillian Reno is the daughter of Katie and Jared Reno. She resides in Huron and was a 2025 graduate of Huron High School.  She participated in HOSA, Key Club, National Honor Society, Junior Prom Committee, Competitive Cheer and Dance, Football Cheer, Color Guard, Core Kinetics Studio Dance, piano lessons, HHS Concert Choir, All State Choir, Madrigals, and CrossFit in high school. She worked part time at Center for Independence, Prime Time Tavern and coaches CrossFit at Solveig in Huron. 

Reno’s interest in the medical profession started when she worked at Center for Independence in Huron. She enjoyed helping the residents and making a difference in their lives and also spent time shadowing nurses at the HRMC Physicians Clinic.  Her goal is to become a hospital nurse and contribute to the community by helping with the HHS Competitive Cheer/Dance team, teaching at Core Kinetics and coaching CrossFit. 

HRMC Foundation scholarship applications are accepted each year from January 1 until March 15. Contact Mati Felderman, executive director of the HRMC Foundation, at 605-353-6573 to learn how your gift can support local health care students.
