Grand Rounds raises $ 290,000 for graduate medical education
The 15th anniversary Baylor Health Care System Foundation Grand Rounds ® Golf Tournament, held at the Northwood Club, had a recordbreaking year, with 229 golfers raising more than $ 290,000. Since the first tournament, Grand Rounds has raised nearly $ 3 million toward Baylor’ s medical education initiatives. For the eighth consecutive year, Bank of Texas was the presenting sponsor.
Funds raised through the annual fall tournament support undergraduate and graduate medical education at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas.
A recognized leader in the training of medical professionals since 1903, Baylor Dallas trains nearly 240 residents and fellows in 31 specialties each year— ranging from internal medicine to vascular surgery to pathology. In order for Baylor to continue to offer high-quality medical educational programs that help secure the future health of our community, donor support is critical.
Platinum sponsors included Duke Realty, The David B. Miller Family Foundation and Western Extrusions. Gold sponsors this year included Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation, Northern Trust and Vizient.
“ We are grateful to our generous sponsors and donors who helped make this another successful year for our tournament,” said Rowland K. Robinson, Foundation president.“ Their support will help us secure the future of our community by training the best and brightest minds to prac-tice safe, quality, compassionate health care.”
