Hospital Golf Outing to Raise Funds for Cancer Services

Imagine you have been diagnosed with cancer and need daily treatments over the next six to eight weeks.  Your family does not live in the area, and your spouse does not feel comfortable driving in the city.  You weigh the options with your physician.  What to do?  The decision is easy.  Because the cancer specialists of Reed City Hospital are seamlessly connected with the cancer specialists of Spectrum Health’s Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion, they can care for you right here in Reed City.

The clock doesn’t stop ticking for those facing cancer.  In fact, in the time it will take you to read this, more people have been diagnosed with this devastating disease.

Every single individual deserves exceptional treatment close to home.  You can make this vision a reality for our regional communities by supporting our efforts to raise funds for cancer services.  Spectrum Health Reed City Hospital is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving Osceola, Mecosta and the Lake County region.
