A long-standing tradition is back again for another year.<\/p>\n

The 33rd annual Friends of Palliative Care Golf Tournament is teeing off at the Brockville Country Club on Wednesday to raise money for Brockville General Hospital\u2019s Palliative Care Team.<\/p>\n

Last year, the tournament raised $400,000, bringing the grand total to $5,593,400 over the duration of the event\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of golfers participate every year in playing a round of golf, taking part in a charity auction and bringing in charitable donations for a good cause.<\/p>\n

The Palliative Care Outreach Program has a significant number of patients using the service, and that number is only expected to grow as the population continues to age.<\/p>\n

Brockville General Hospital\u2019s Palliative Care Team provides essential, compassionate services to patients and families across Leeds and Grenville, covering a vast area from Gananoque to Cardinal and extending north to Westport, Rideau Lakes, and North Grenville.<\/p>\n

The annual cost to run the Palliative Care Outreach Program is over $900,000, and the program receives minimal funding and relies on the generosity of the community to sustain the services it provides.<\/p>\n
