Southern Coos Health Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded nine years ago to raise funds in support of patient care and access to healthcare services at their hospital. Highlights of their 2016 goals include: Scholarships for students pursuing health-related careers, early cancer detection fund, which offers free screening services to men and women, medical equipment for their surgery, emergency room, and medical-surgical floor and community health education, charity care and continuing education for healthcare for professionals.
On July 15, 2016, the Southern Coos Health Foundation will be holding their 9th annual Bandon Golf for Health Classic at the beautiful Bandon Crossings Golf Course. This is their largest fundraiser of the year, having raised over $30,000 back in 2015 from sponsors, business donors and golfers. Most significantly, they applied these funds from last year’s tournament proceeds toward the purchase of a state-of-the-art automated medication management system, which significantly streamlines prescription processes, benefiting patients with faster service and fewer errors.
Since they’ve publicize statewide, this event attracts up to 250 people including 144 golfers who participate in a four-person scramble. They start it all off with a sponsor’s appreciation party and live and silent auction on Friday evening and continue Saturday morning with a continental breakfast and tournament with includes a $25k hole in one contest, a skillful $1 million dollar shot, and concluding the evening with an awards BBQ, a raffle and live auction.
