Golf Scramble to Aid IVCH Drive for New MRI

Illinois Valley Community Hospital?s drive to fund the purchase of a new MRI unit continues with a golf fundraiser this fall.
The IVCH Foundation Golf Scramble tees off at 12:30 p.m. Friday, September 15, at Senica?s Oak Ridge Golf Club, LaSalle.
The event?s $125 entry fee includes lunch, dinner, green fees, golf cart, refreshments and a sponsored tee gift.  Registration information is available by clicking on the golf scramble billboard on the home page at ivch.org.
Corporate sponsorships are also available.  For details, call Jheri Emmerling, Foundation secretary, at 815-780-4642, or Brad Reach, IVCH chief financial officer and head of the committee planning the golf outing, at 815-780-3574.
An MRI scanner is a diagnostic imaging device that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body.  IVCH wants to replace its current MRI unit with a wide bore model that can perform a wider range of tests while providing patients with more room and comfort during their exams.
