Statesville, NC — On May 15 and 16, 168 golfers arrived at Statesville Country Club to enjoy
the beautiful weather and “chip in” to support the 14th annual Iredell Memorial Community Golf
Classic. All proceeds go toward educational programs for nurses at Iredell Health System.
This year’s tournament raised more than $125,000.
“This tournament was made possible thanks to the generosity of our amazing sponsors and the
dedication of our incredible volunteers,” said Kim Holland, Iredell Health Foundation
Development Coordinator. “The funds raised support the Institute of Nursing Excellence Fund,
ensuring that we continue to make a positive impact on the quality of nursing care in our
community. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this event, once
again, extremely successful.”
Over the last 14 years, the tournament has raised in excess of $2 million and provided education
to more than 550 nurses. Danielle Simmons, MSN, RN, Assistant Director of Iredell Health
System’s Critical Care Unit, is just one of these education recipients. This year, Simmons
attended the American Organization for Nurse Leadership’s annual conference, empowering her
with tools to better serve her patients and staff.
“I am truly grateful to the Foundation for providing me with the opportunity to attend this
conference,” said Simmons. “As a new nurse leader, the experience was incredibly inspiring and
has motivated me to grow into the best leader I can be. Thank you for investing in my
development.”
A highlight of the event was Piedmont HealthCare Comprehensive Digestive Care Center’s Dr.
Vivek Trivedi making a career hole-in-one, sealing Thursday’s first place win for his team, “The
Digestive Dynamos.”
Thank you to this year’s presenting sponsor, Crothall Healthcare, as well as Hamilton Point,
HHS, and Rodger’s Builders for making this event a smashing success.
Save the date! Next year’s tournament is May 14 and 15. For more information, visit
