2026 Alumni Achievement Awards Recipients

"The Outstanding Business Leader Award was presented to Ivan Edwards, owner and CEO of Jovana Rehabilitation Medicine & Pain in San Antonio, Texas. Ivan treats patients with a wide range of needs, from physical medicine and rehabilitation to comprehensive pain management and neurorehabilitation, always striving to restore dignity and hope. He earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Midwestern University and completed a residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Texas Health Science Center. He completed training in aerospace medicine and proudly serves his country as a U.S. Air Force Flight Surgeon. He was recently promoted to Colonel, caring for injured airmen and helping them return to duty. “It’s a way of giving back to a country that I’m grateful for and serving something bigger than myself,” he says. In addition to earning his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Rivier in 1999, he also completed a degree in theology from Kingsway Christian College & Theological Seminary in Iowa."
