2022 Recipient

Emily Artz Pearson, OMS-IV
Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine - Athens
"Thank you for your donation of funds for the SOMA Scholar Award. This gift is making a significant difference in my education. Beyond scholarships, all financial funding for my education has been provided by myself. Scholarships help broaden my opportunities which I may be otherwise limited due to financial burden.
I thoroughly enjoy being a member of SOMA. Since no one in my family has been a physician, it has helped me immensely in figuring out how to make the most out of my time in medical school and in my future career. Again, I want to thank you for your generous gift, assuring you that your gift will be contributing to the good I plan on bringing to patients."
