| Jun 4 Thousand Islands Golf Classic Dinner and Auction |
| We are excited to announce that the planning for Samaritan’s 29th Annual Thousand Islands Golf Classic is underway! This year’s schedule is as follows: - Online Auction: Monday, May 18 - Thursday, June 4 - Dinner and Live Auction: Thursday, June 4th, Edgewood Resort on the beautiful St. Lawrence River in Alexandria Bay - Golf: Friday, June 5, at the Thousand Islands Country Club, Wellesley Island, NY. A portion of this year's Thousand Islands Golf Classic will again support the construction of a new $12 million Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab) in the hospital, a much-needed resource in the North Country. Funds raised will allow Samaritan to provide life-saving cardiac interventions in a state-of-the-art facility here in Watertown. The new Cardiac Cath Lab will feature Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) capabilities, allowing for rapid and effective treatment of heart attacks and other cardiovascular conditions. Currently, patients must travel outside our region to access these critical services, leading to delays in treatment that can negatively impact care. |
