I am pleased to announce that the 2009 St. Joseph Mercy Saline Hospital Golf Classic, presented by the SJMSH Physicians, is scheduled to tee off on Monday, June 15 at Travis Pointe Country Club in Ann Arbor. Now in its 19th year, the Golf Classic has raised more than $1 Million to support vital health care services provided by the Hospital. We hope you will join us and help us to reach this year's goal of $125,000.

Proceeds from the Golf Classic will support the Community Health Pavilion project. As a result of the current economy, our community is relying on St. Joe's more than ever to ensure that everyone has access to remarkable medicine and remarkable care. This project will help the Hospital to meet the growing needs of the community. The Pavilion will feature a new front entrance for improved access to key health care services including inpatient, surgery and emergency. And, the facility will house a new Community Room, improved family space and the state-of-the Imaging Center. Your support will make a difference.

We hope you will join us at the 2009 Golf Classic and we thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

John Herrygers
Chairperson, SJMSH Golf Classic
