We want to take a moment to spotlight one of our own. We like to think of our team members as extended family and want to congratulate Catalina Sanchez. Catalina is a 2022 GRHS graduate and the daughter of Ben and Christina Sanchez. Christina, an LVN has been a loyal employee of this community since 2008.  

Every year TORCH (Texas Organization of Rural & Community Hospitals) notifies all rural Texas hospitals of scholarship opportunities for those pursuing or advancing their careers in the medical field. TORCH partnered with the Lindsey Horton Memorial Scholarship Fund to expand the scholarship beyond the Permian Basin region. This year Catalina applied and was awarded the scholarship. The scholarship is a $5,000.00 scholarship that is only awarded to ten qualified applicants from rural Texas communities.  

Catalina is a 2024 Graduate of Hill College with an Associate Degree in Science, where she played softball. Catalina is now attending Tarleton State University pursuing a degree in Kinesiology. After graduating Tarleton State University, she plans on studying Radiology Technology. 

Congratulations Catalina, Ben and Christina. Well done.  

About the Lindsey Horton Memorial Scholarship 

Lindsey Horton was a registered nurse at Permian Regional Medical Center in Andrews, Texas. She worked in the Surgery Department and completed two cases the morning of August 10, 2020. She took a break and went to the bathroom. A while later her co-workers began looking for her. The bathroom was locked, and they could not get in. They called Maintenance to pull the core of the lock. When they opened the door, they found Lindsey’s lifeless body on the floor. The cause of death was determined to be “Sudden Cardiac Death due to Mitral Valve Prolapse”. She went into a fatal arrhythmia, probably ventricular fibrillation. The Lindsey Horton Memorial Scholarship Fund has been started in honor and memory of Lindsey and will provide scholarships to nursing students and other healthcare fields so that out of tragedy can come some good.
