October 21, 2022, MORRIS, IL – Once again, friends of Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers came out in full force in support of the Patient Transportation and Lifeline programs by participating in the Morris Hospital Auxiliary’s annual Golf Outing on September 26. Net proceeds are over $49,000, making this year’s golf outing a very successful event according to Morris Hospital Auxiliary & Foundation Officer Hannah Wehrle.
“We are so excited about this year’s results,” said Wehrle. “The proceeds will help the Auxiliary and Foundation cover the cost for a new Patient Transportation bus next year.”
“I believe the success of the event speaks to the amazing generosity of our community and their understanding of our incredible Patient Transportation and Lifeline programs that have become an integral part of our community over the past 20 years,” adds Wehrle. ”This year’s event was also extra special because it was the first time since 2019 that we were able to come together in person. Seeing everyone was absolutely wonderful.”
