Some of the funds are also helping purchase a Neoprobe Gamma Detection System, which is used to locate cancerous tissue during surgery; a Masimo SedLine, to monitor brain activity and ensure safe anesthesia levels; Vital Signs Machines; oxygen concentrators; and mobility aids.

This was the 17th edition of the Charity Classic golf fundraiser, and over those years over $4.9-million had been raised for medical equipment at VJH.

“The success and 17-year legacy of Charity Classic belongs to the close-knit community behind it,” McBrearty said. 

“From our tireless organizing committee to our incredibly generous donors, sponsors and volunteers, everyone shares a deep commitment to local healthcare. The day was perfect, the evening magical. Days like this make us proud of a community driven to ensure our medical teams get the equipment they need to continue delivering exceptional care.”
