2023-2024 Danna Mezin-Koats scholarship awarded

The 2023-2024 Danna Mezin-Koats scholarship recipient is Kelly Regers, from Edina, MN.

As a future physician, she hopes to be a patient and a community advocate. Her goal is to be a bridge to connect across cultures, from science to humans, and help patients never lose their humanity. Kelly aspires to be a pediatrician because she believes the early, formative years deeply intertwine the impacts of health and societal factors that can have vast impacts on one’s quality of life to come.

The Danna Mezin-Koats Scholarship is a separate fund dedicated to assisting medical students in any medical field at the University of Minnesota.
