23 Teams Swing to Benefit Health and Wellness in Our Community During the 37th Annual Samaritan Hospital Foundation Charity Gol

On June 13, twenty-three teams came out in support of a great cause during the Samaritan Hospital Foundation’s (SHF) 37th Annual Charity Golf Classic. This year’s tournament sponsor was Janotta & Herner, a design/build construction company located in Monroeville, Ohio.

Top finishing teams included:

Flight A – 1^st Place: Simonson Construction Services, Inc. – Dustin Beattie, Dalton Beattie, Steve Paramore, Randy Heller

2^nd Place: Good Shepherd Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center – Joe Abraham, Ev DeVaul, Casey Barone, Klaira Paramore

Flight B – 1^st Place: Ashland University – Jeff Alix, Mark Libs, Zachary McGrain, Jason Miller

2^nd Place: Ashland Police Department – Kara Pearce, James Coey, Jeremy Jarvis, Adam Smis

Proceeds from this year’s event benefitted the following organizations that provide health and wellness to the Ashland community:

University Hospitals Samaritan Medical Center will receive funds raised through the golf outing for a new Glidescope for the Emergency Department. The Glidescope, which is used to establish an airway for patients with respiratory failure, contains a camera that helps the physician visualize the patient’s airway for easier intubation.

University Hospitals Samaritan Medical Center’s Rehab Department will receive funds to upgrade their Aquatic therapy environment for pain relief, making it easier for patients to navigate the area.

And thanks to the funds raised at the golf outing, the Ashland Fire Department is able to purchase a Power Stair Chair, which is a powered chair to assist EMTs with moving a patient who can’t lie down or the egress is too narrow to allow for the movement up or down steps with their normal cot.
