Goldbug Golf Outing

The oldest, most respected golf outing in Washington County, The Goldbug, held its 21st Anniversary tournament on Tuesday, July 19, 2011.  The weather was warm, and fun was had by all! 

Over $16,700 was raised this year, for a grand total of $702,100 over the 20-year span for our programs and community. All proceeds from the 2011 Goldbug benefited the Medical Center Foundation of Hartford Transportation Program, which offers low-cost, convenient transportation for patients going to and from their medical appointments at all Washington County Aurora Health Care facilities.

To our wonderful sponsors, a heartfelt THANK YOU for your continued support. Your donations make a difference in the lives of your friends and neighbors!

Our Tree of Life will ring in the Holidays!

On Thursday, December 1 at 5:00 p.m. in front of our hospital, our beautiful tree laden with lights signifying community donations to our Personal Emergency Response program will be lit to help ring in the Holiday Season, warming our hearts and bringing joy to those using the program. Entertainment will be provided by a local musical group. After our heartwarming ceremony, warm apple cider, hot chocolate and cookies will be served in the cafeteria of the hospital. Proceeds from the Tree of Life appeal benefit the Foundation’s Personal Emergency Response Program, allowing many in our community to remain independent in their homes regardless of ability to pay. To purchase a light in memory or in honor of someone special in your life or for more information on the program, please call 262-673-7272. Please plan ahead and join us for this beautiful, joyous ceremony!
