The Greene County Medical Center Foundation raised over $16,000 at its annual golf outing.

The fundraiser took place on June 18th with 64 golfers, making 16 teams, at the Jefferson Community Golf Course. Foundation Director Nancy Houska estimated over $16,500 was raised through sponsorships, team registration, and a putting contest. The event included a boxed lunch from the medical center’s nutrition department and dinner was catered by Bett and Bev’s Barbecue. Hy-Vee and the Iowa Hospital Association also helped sponsor the evening meal. 

The event also celebrated the Health Care Heroes of the medical center and Houska explains why they decided on this particular theme.
“We just wanted to do a special celebration of our local health care heroes. We wanted to acknowledge their work over the past year and their dedication.”  

The overall team winners for the golf tournament was Home State Bank with Troy Ticknor, Marcus Mechaelsen, Noah Juergensen and Eric Hockenberry. All proceeds will go back to the Foundation for supplemental purchases for the medical center.
