Franciscan Health Classic on August 15

The 20th Franciscan Health Classic will be held on Monday, August 15 at the world-renowned Olympia Fields County Club. Proceeds from this year’s Classic will help to fund a new Medical Simulation Lab at Franciscan Health Olympia Fields.

The Medical Simulation 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. Best practices are mastered in real-life, simulated environments, sometimes using high-tech human manikins, under the watchful eye of Franciscan clinical educators and medical faculty.

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for well-prepared healthcare professionals, and simulation training has become the standard for continuing medical education.

“The 20th Franciscan Health Golf Classic is a great occasion to support and celebrate Franciscan’s quality healthcare throughout Chicago’s Southland,” said Laurie Crosby, Franciscan Health Foundation Executive Director. “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.

For details on how you can participate as a sponsor or a golfer, call Laurie Crosby or Kelly Mager at 708-852-2430. Additional information is also available at FranciscanHealthFoundation.org/GolfClassic.

“Your support will help us to provide the very best in clinical education,” Crosby said, “which is essential to preparing healthcare professionals for their patient care responsibilities.”
