Pointe-Claire (Québec) — September 13, 2024 — The Lakeshore General Hospital Foundation is thrilled to announce that their 26th Annual Lakeshore Open, which took place on September 12, raised a record $500,125 for the Hospital’s Surgery Department. The sold-out event welcomed over 230 guests to Elm Ridge Golf Club for a day on the links, cocktails, on-course food stations, and a live and silent auction.
“We are over the moon with the success of this year’s tournament,” says Foundation Managing Director Nathalie Kamel. “And we are very excited to use these funds to enhance our surgical program at Lakeshore by purchasing an orthopedic robot.”
“This advancement will enhance surgical precision, reduce recovery times, and improve patient outcomes, ensuring we continue providing excellent patient care,” says Dr. Sevan Ortaaslan, Chief of Surgery at Lakeshore General Hospital. “By integrating robotics, our skilled surgeons will be equipped with the latest tools to perform procedures with even greater accuracy, benefiting our patients and their families.”
The Foundation would like to thank Desjardins, Caisse de Ouest-de-L’ile, the event’s Par sponsor, and all the other sponsors, participants, donors, food partners, and volunteers who supported the event.
