DCH FOUNDATION RAISES OVER $40,000 FOR EXPANSION AND RENOVATION

Washington, IN – Over one hundred golfers enjoyed sunny skies and warm temperatures which made the day nearly perfect for the 30^th Annual Daviess Community Hospital Foundation Golf Benefit. This year’s event was held on Thursday, August 10th at Country Oaks Golf Club near Montgomery, IN.

According to Angie Steiner, Director of the DCH Foundation, “Each year we have been fortunate to have many local and regional sponsors and individuals supporting our efforts through donations and players. Everyone comes together to support the Foundation and Daviess Community Hospital projects while having a fun day on the course.”

The sponsors and individual players are vital to raising the funds for hospital projects, but the event would not be possible without the volunteers to make it happen. This year, the list of volunteers included those who have benefited from past projects including scholarship recipients, healthcare professionals from the DCH Wound Care clinic, and several DCH employees. Tents on the course provided information about the hospital, fun games, and refreshments for the golfers.

“It was great to see so many new and familiar faces assisting with this year’s golf outing,” remarked Tracy Conroy, DCH CEO. “They are an outstanding group of people who understand the importance of raising funds for the Med Surg/ICU and Emergency Department renovations. The event was extremely well organized, which shows the dedication and hard work of those who put it together.”

This year’s event raised more than $40,000 to support the renovation and expansion project which is currently in phase I. Phase II is slated to begin in early 2024. With an estimated cost at more than $8 million, this project is a significant part of a larger master facility plan encompassing a significant area of the first and second floor of Daviess Community Hospital that includes a renovated medical/surgical unit combined with a state-of-the-art ICU, expanded/renovated emergency department and modernized public and support areas. These updated facilities will equip Daviess Community Hospital to transform the care they provide to Daviess County and the surrounding communities for generations to come.

“We are grateful to those who supported this program through the golf outing this year and we look forward to engaging many in the community as we launch a Capital Campaign,” Angie Steiner remarked.

Next year’s golf event will again be held on the second Thursday in August. For more information on the Foundation efforts, please contact Angie Steiner at 812-254-8858 or asteiner@dchosp.org.
