From Scholarship Recipients to Leaders in Healthcare
Two incredible members of our SCHC team, Sierra Winter and Ronni Spaulding, are living proof of the impact of Sunshine’s commitment to growing our own healthcare workforce.
Sierra Winter – From Student to Community Relations Manager
Sierra Winter started working at SCHC shortly after graduating high school, eager to contribute to her community. With the support of SCHC’s Grow Your Own Program and staff scholarship opportunities, Sierra pursued her degree in Health Care Administration while continuing to work at the clinic.
Today, as Community Relations Manager, Sierra plays a vital role in building connections, raising awareness, and advocating for accessible healthcare in our communities. Her journey showcases how SCHC not only supports students at the start of their careers but also helps them grow into leaders within the organization.
Ronni Spaulding – A Staff Scholarship Success Story

As a recipient of Sunshine’s Staff Scholarship Program, Ronni was able to further her education while working at SCHC. With dedication and support, she advanced in her career, taking on greater responsibilities and making a meaningful impact within the organization.
Ronni’s story highlights how investing in education and professional development creates opportunities for individuals to grow within SCHC, benefiting both employees and the communities we serve.
