The Mingenback family recently awarded two scholarships from the Dr. John J. Mingenback Health Professions Scholarship Fund at the Golden Belt Community Foundation. The scholarship was established by the Mingenback family for aspiring health practitioners, which encourages personal and professional commitment to the community. Dr. John, as Dr. John J. Mingenback was known to his many patients, embodied the characteristics of servant leadership. Always dedicated to the patients understanding of dental health and preventative care, Dr. Johns philosophy was one of serving his patients. Through 47 years of practice, he often knew three-to-four generations within a family who chose him for their dentist. This was the ultimate compliment to Dr John and due to his ability to know his patients as friends his family and community benefited. Dr. Mingenback loved his patients, took an interest in their lives, eased their pain and followed Golden Rule throughout his career in the Golden Belt. The recipients of the 2011 Dr. John J. Mingenback Health Professions Scholarship are Brent Stoss and Taycee Bunn. Brent Stoss is a 2011 graduate of Great Bend High School.
