• Caroline Reeves, Andalusia High School
• Holley Hart, Houston Academy

“We are delighted to support these exceptional students as they take the next step in their academic journeys toward careers in healthcare,” said Dr. Chase Smith, President of Southern Bone and Joint Specialists. “Their dedication and passion for helping others through medicine is truly inspiring.”

The Southern Bone and Joint Specialists Foundation scholarship program awards financial aid to graduating high school seniors from Barbour, Coffee, Covington, Crenshaw, Dale, Geneva, Henry, Houston, and Pike counties in Alabama who plan to pursue higher education in healthcare-related fields. Funds are raised through the annual Ronnie Randall Memorial Golf Tournament.

Our mission extends beyond healthcare, as we strive to promote wellness, support community services, and expand access to education through our Foundation. The scholarship program is one of the many ways we give back to the community, helping to support the next generation of healthcare professionals.
