The Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation will hold its 17th annual Fall Golf and Tennis Classic on Monday, September 25th, at the Edgewood Country Club in River Vale, N. J. The presenting sponsor of the event is once again Union State Bank, which continues to demonstrate its commitment to the community through efforts such as this. Proceeds from the event will help to defray the purchase and installation costs of a new state-of-the-art 64-Slice CT Scanner.
The golf classic will be a fun-filled day beginning with registration and a breakfast buffet at 9:00 a. m. The golf format is an elite 18-hole “shamble,” with double team best ball scoring. For those who prefer a hard court to the links, a tennis tournament, with a round robin format, will also be offered. The day culminates with an elaborate “Grand Reception” featuring a silent auction and awards program.
Local corporations and organizations are encouraged to show their support by taking advantage of one or more of the various sponsorship opportunities that are available, ranging from $25,000 “Links Sponsor” on down to $250 “Tee Sponsor.” Individual golfers are invited to attend at a cost of $475 per person, while individual tennis slots cost $300. The donation to attend the evening’s Grand Reception alone is $150. Donations of goods and/or services for the always popular silent auction, such as gift certificates, show or game tickets, or electronics, would be much appreciated.
All funds raised through the Fall Classic will support the acquisition and installation of the latest diagnostic imaging equipment, a 64-Slice CT Scanner.
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death among men and women in the United States. With construction of the new Active International Cardiovascular Institute at Good Samaritan Hospital underway for a January opening, the hospital is adding technology now to compliment those services. The only 64-slice CT scanner in Rockland County can successfully capture sharp, highly detailed images of moving organs such as the heart and lungs. This significant improvement allows physicians to capture nearly 200 images each second – in fact, most scans can be completed in as little as 10 seconds! The images give cardiologists an inside look at your heart without any invasive measures to detect even small blockages. Once detected, any blockages can be addressed by a cardiologist on staff at Good Samaritan, preventing the associated risk of a heart attack. Your support of this year’s Fall Classic will help fund this new technology.
