Proceeds from previous Golf Benefits have supported the Hope & Healing Imaging department campaign, the Maternity unit renovation project, Hospice, and emergent cardiac care. Proceeds from this year’s Golf Benefit will benefit the Emergency department at HSHS St. Anthony’s. More than 24,000 patients are seen in the Emergency department each year. People of all ages and walks of life seek healing and care as a result of sport injuries, agricultural or industrial accidents, heart attacks, strokes, or trauma from traffic accidents. St. Anthony’s doors are always open with highly-skilled physicians and dedicated team members to passionately care for patients and families.
One of the hospital’s main emergent conditions is cardiac issues. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. St. Anthony’s continues to educate and reach out to the community about the importance of early identification – the sooner heart issues are identified, the better. This year’s event seeks to enhance the hospital’s communication abilities during emergent care situations. Proceeds from “Holes for Heart Care” will support the purchase of the Responder 5 Staff Terminal. The Responder 5 device allows the hospital’s Emergency care team to anticipate a patient’s needs and gives them the ability to communicate and interface between multiple systems and devices used in the care of the patient, allowing the care team to respond even more quickly to a patient’s change in condition and their pain management.
Register your team today for the Foundation’s “Holes for Heart Care” Golf Benefit. There are a variety of sponsorships opportunities available with many levels to choose from. The HSHS St. Anthony’s Foundation expresses its thanks to Air Evac Lifeteam and Abbott EMS, Midland States Bank, and Consolidated Communications for their “Listen to your Heart” event sponsorship.
