Local healthcare programs receive funding

Community support and the success of the annual golf classic staged by the Oconee Memorial Hospital Foundation have put money into the hands of those who run three local health care facilities.  Receiving checks for $28 thousand last week were Safe Kids Upstate, Lila Doyle Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, and Mountain Lakes Access Health Dental Clinic.  The golf tournament has now raised $538 thousand since it debuted in 2008.  The next Oconee Memorial Foundation Golf Classic will be September 29 at Cross Creek Plantation and Keowee Key Golf Course.
