Each year, the West Tennessee Healthcare–Henry County Hospital Volunteer Auxiliary welcomes local students into the “Scholarship Club” to celebrate the next generation of healthcare heroes. Two students–Briley Ann Medlin and Izzy Robbins–are this year’s recipients.
Briley Ann Medlin, a recent graduate from Henry County High School, has been awarded a $2,000 scholarship to support her future in the medical field. She’s heading to UT Knoxville to study Biology on the pre-med track.
Briley’s been a leader in the classroom, on stage, and in the community, and this scholarship is just one way our Volunteer Auxiliary continues to support the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Izzy Robbins, also a 2025 graduate of Henry County High School, was selected to receive a $2,000 scholarship as she begins her journey to become a Radiology Technician. She’ll attend Jackson State Community College this fall, following her passion to help others through medical imaging.
A 4.0 student, dedicated athlete, and active volunteer, Izzy’s drive and compassion make her a perfect fit for the future of healthcare.

The WTH-HCH Volunteer Auxiliary scholarships are awarded annually to legal residents of Henry Co., TN,  who are graduating seniors from Henry County High School and intend to pursue a degree or certification in  the medical field, excluding optometry, dentistry, and veterinary medicine.  

Briley plans to attend the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Briley will major in Biology with an emphasis  on the pre-med track. While at Henry County High School, Briley completed several college preparatory  classes and obtained extensive community service hours. Briley excelled in the arts at HCHS as a member of  the Madrigals and a constant cast member of HCHS plays. She was a student representative for art-based  events held at the Krider Performing Arts Center as well. Briley was the senior class president and a member  of the Honors Society, graduating in the top 5% of her class. She attributes her father as being instrumental  in guiding her into the medical field, helping her excel in fulfilling her dreams and configure the way she  views her shortcomings. 

“It’s very overwhelming to have the task of reviewing the many applications we receive from students  showing interest in the medical field,” said Wanda Davis, scholarship chairperson. “Having to go through the  process of elimination, when they’re all so deserving is incredibly difficult. We are just so proud we can help  them start their journey.”
