The 20th Franciscan Health Classic will be held on Monday, Aug. 15, at Olympia Fields Country Club.
Proceeds from this year’s event will help fund a new Medical Simulation Lab at Franciscan Health Olympia Fields. Laurie Crosby, Franciscan Health Foundation executive director, said the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for well-prepared healthcare professionals, and simulation training has become the standard for continuing medical education.
The lab will provide a safe, controlled interactive learning environment where physicians, nurses and students can hone their skills, allowing for objective evaluation and clinical growth. The hospital’s administration believes best practices are mastered in real-life. The lab will offer simulated environments, sometimes using high-tech human manikins, under the watchful eye of Franciscan clinical educators and medical faculty.
“The 20th Franciscan Health Golf Classic is a great occasion to support and celebrate Franciscan’s quality healthcare throughout Chicago’s Southland,” Crosby said. “Bringing this advanced medical simulation training technology to Olympia Fields further demonstrates our commitment to medical education that inspires innovative instruction, lifelong learning and clinical excellence among our healthcare providers.”
There are a wide range of Golf Outing sponsorships available. All sponsors will be recognized for their support of Franciscan Health’s mission, and for their support of the community at large.
