Meet Charish Cooper, our 2026 Larry & Luella Shelton Scholarship Recipient. Charish graduated from Southwind High School and is now officially starting her nursing journey at Austin Peay State University. She’s driven by a passion for helping people feel heard, respected, and supported in their healthcare experiences.

Charish dreams of becoming a travel nurse so she can serve different communities and make a real impact wherever she’s needed. We’re proud to support her as she begins this new chapter and excited to see everything she’ll accomplish.
