  Breanna Witte - Radiography Class of 2018, Diagnostic Medical Sonography Class of 2019 (UNK)
  Currently practicing at Tri Valley Health System in Cambridge, NE.
  "I chose to pursue a pathway program because it was an incredible opportunity, financially, for me, and it allowed me to be accepted into one of the most well-respected medical colleges in the nation. I knew I would receive the best education possible to be a valuable asset to healthcare, and an added bonus was I could do it all in a rural setting.
  
  There is great importance in rural healthcare, and I am proud to be able to contribute to it. Rural residents deserve the opportunity to have access to high quality care they can trust without having to drive long distances. "

  Kaylee (Samway) Wiemers - Radiography Class of 2017 & Magnetic Resonance Imaging Class of 2018
  Currently practicing at Community Hospital in McCook as an X-ray, CT, MRI and Mammography technologist. 
  "I chose to pursue the radiography and magnetic resonance imaging programs because of my love for technology and for helping others. I love being able to help others get through some of their toughest days. 
  
  I grew up in rural Nebraska, and nothing gives me more pride than to help serve the community that helped shape me into the person I am today. Being able to provide the same level of care to patients in my hometown that they could receive in a larger facility is something I am proud to be part of.
