PHCS Annual Golf Outing Nets $260,000 to Support Community Health Center
Princeton HealthCare System's 21st annual Golf Outing, held June 14 at Metedeconk National Golf Club in Jackson, raised more than $260,000 to benefit the Bristol-Myers Squibb Community Health Center.
The Scheide Fund, a Princeton-based philanthropic organization, was the title sponsor of the event, which drew 180 participants.
Other top sponsors included Conner Strong & Buckelew; Edward E. Matthews, Chairman Emeritus of the Princeton HealthCare System (PHCS) Board of Trustees; Wells Fargo Bank; Princeton Anesthesia Services; and SEI Investments. In total, 74 companies and individuals who do business or live in the region supported the event.
Proceeds will benefit the Bristol-Myers Squibb Community Health Center, PHCS' primary and specialty care clinic that serves approximately 8,000 uninsured and underinsured patients of all ages. The clinic is attached to PHCS' acute care hospital, University Medical Center of Princeton.
Funds raised by the Golf Outing will support complex care coordination and enhanced services for high-risk patients with multiple chronic medical conditions, as well as support services for adults and children who otherwise could not afford them.
The PHCS Foundation thanks everyone who supported this important fundraising event, especially Honorary Co-Chair J. Thomas Davidson, MD; Co-Chair James Demetriades, Vice President, PHCS; Co-Chair Glenn Mekles of Conner Strong & Buckelew, Metedeconk sponsoring member; and members of the 2016 Golf Outing Committee.
