Franciscan Health Classic to Celebrate Healthcare Heroes

On Monday, August 16, the 19th Franciscan Health Golf Classic will be held at Olympia Fields Country Club. Funds raised by the event will benefit Franciscan’s Community Health and Wellness Fund.

This year’s Classic honors Franciscan’s Healthcare Heroes who worked long hours, day after day, to treat and save COVID-19 patients over the last several months. It will also celebrate the lives saved as a result of their work.

True to Franciscan Healthcare tradition, doctors, nurses and staff delivered compassionate, expert healthcare to community members as they faced this highly contagious, deadly virus.

As a teaching hospital, Franciscan Health brings the most specialized and advanced services to the community, which was especially valuable during this critical time.

The experience of fighting COVID-19 further deepened Franciscan Health’s bond with the Chicago Southland community, which was established more than 100 years ago.

“The Franciscan Health Foundation is now inviting the community to join us at the 19th Franciscan Health Classic to celebrate the healthcare heroes who helped so many of us,” said Laurie Crosby, Franciscan Health Foundation Executive Director.

Golf Outing partnerships are available at many levels.

Golfers will also have the unique opportunity to include a Franciscan Healthcare Hero in their foursomes.
