On May 18, Medisys Health network held the 17th Annual MediSys Classic at the Old Westbury Country Club. Each year this highly anticipated event is coordinated to raise funds to benefit both Flushing and Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. Guests were invited to participate in a day of fun and relaxation at the beautiful and elegant facility. They were offered a selection of activities to choose from which included golf, tennis, yoga and calming massages.
Although the day of the event was a bit chilly, it did not stop golfers from showing up, playing well and heating up the golf course.
Those who were not golfers but wanted to enjoy a day of fitness played an energetic game of tennis or got limber during yoga and Pilates classes. Others who were looking for a day of rest and relaxation retreated to the spa.
Dinner and cocktails were served later on in the evening. Guests were treated to a feast of treats and delectable cuisines. Dinner was not only a social affair but also charitable as generous patrons bought fists full of raffle tickets and rushed to the silent auction table fo
r their chance to win golf packages to exclusive clubs on Long Island.
Awards and recognitions were presented after dinner to key players and contributors to the event, including Honorary Chairman, Dr. Cono Grasso. Raffle prize winners were also announced; they received highly coveted items such as iPads, cameras and plane tickets.
The 17th Annual 
MediSys Classic was a great success thanks to the staff of Jamaica and Flushing Hospital, our generous participants and the staff of Old Westbury Country Club. We are looking forward to next year.
