On Monday, June 25th, the 35th Grosse Pointe Golf Classic took place at the Country Club of Detroit. More than $226,000 was raised to benefit Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe’s Breast Care Center and the creation of a new hybrid surgical suite. Approximately 200 guests enjoyed a day on the golf course, played pickleball or bridge, then mingled during cocktails and a strolling dinner. The addition of a Chicago-style bridge tournament drew 40 participants to this year’s fundraiser.
Trish Moritz and Mickey Shield, both of Grosse Pointe Farms, were the 2018 event co-chairs. The work of the committees brought in 28 auction packages, raising more than $6,000 to add to the donation.
Beaumont Grosse Pointe’s Breast Care Center offers evaluation, management and long-term care for women with breast diseases and women considered to be high-risk for developing breast cancer. Services for women at the Center include screenings using the latest digital 3D mammography systems, also known as tomosynthesis.

The Hybrid Surgical Suite, will be the keystone of the surgical center renovation. The hybrid suite will allow Beaumont, Grosse Pointe surgeons to take a minimally invasive approach to surgeries, including vascular, thoracic and trauma. A minimally invasive approach results in enhanced outcomes with shorter recovery times, meaning less time in the hospital. The new suite will convert two existing operating rooms into one large suite containing the very latest in minimally invasive and imaging technologies.
