On Monday, May 20th, Jamaica and Flushing Hospitals held their 15th Annual MediSys Golf Classic at the Old Westbury Country Club. The event was attended by 123 golfers and five tennis players.
After a day of golfing and tennis, participants attended a cocktail/dinner reception, where remarks were made by Bruce J. Flanz, President and CEO of the MediSys Health Network and the event’s honorary chairman, Dr. Cono Grasso, Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology. Prizes were awarded to the highest scoring players/foursomes and a wide variety of raffles prizes were given away.
The highly anticipated raffle drawings included prizes donated by several departments at Jamaica and Flushing Hospitals. Some of these prizes included a spa gift basket, AMEX gift cards, Hickey Freeman neckties, a “Casino Night” basket, a Lenox giftware basket, Beats by Dre, and much more. The top three prizes included tickets to a Mets vs. Yankees game, an iPad mini, and a Broadway Theater package for two. The grand prize was two Jet Blue tickets and a Sony camera. In total, over $13,300 worth of prizes were donated by employees.
The event raised slightly over $180,000 and will be used to benefit Jamaica Hospital’s Trauma Program and to help finance the renovation of Flushing Hospital’s Cardiac Care Unit.
