Northwest Community Hospital (NCH) Foundation’s Golf Classic at Medinah Country Club on July 17 raised $784,000 to support NCH’s ambitious plan to transform cancer care for the region. Elite Ambulance was the Title Sponsor for the 26th annual event that also included an online silent auction and raffle supported by attendees and many members of the community.

“It was another beautiful Chicago day at Medinah,” said Henry Dominicis, M.D., co-chair of the event and Physician Director of Ambulatory Services at NCH. “Thanks to the unwavering support and dedication of our sponsors, our Golf Classic has surpassed all expectations once again. I’d like to thank our organizing committee members who worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth and enjoyable event for everyone involved. As we celebrate the success of this golf outing, let us also remember the purpose that brought us together – making a difference in our community.”
