Off The Beaten Path, a local non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for various charitable causes, will be hosting a golf tournament that would benefit the Commonwealth Health Center Volunteers Association.<\/p>\n
The tournament, which will be the group\u2019s first golf fundraiser, will be held at the Laolao Bay Golf Resort in Kagman on Oct. 18.<\/p>\n
Tickets are $100 and can be purchased from any CHC Volunteer or OBP members. For more information, contact Alex Sablan at saiship@pticom.com or email obpcnmi@gmail.com.<\/p>\n
OBP public relations officer Francine Sablan said the CHC volunteers are raising funds to purchase critically needed medical equipment for the hospital.<\/p>\n
Sablan said that the CHC-VA is an integral component of CNMI\u2019s health care system and has contributed substantially to the ability of the CHC to offer quality medial care to the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal is to assist the CHC Volunteers Association with raising funds to purchase a Spiral CT scan machine and a hyperbaric chamber for CHC,\u201d Sablan said.<\/p>\n
Sablan said the CHC volunteers had worked tirelessly to extend financial support to the CHC, including the health centers on Rota and Tinian.<\/p>\n
Through its fundraising activities, the volunteers were able to purchase several vital medical equipment such as two mammograms, an infant hearing screener and an eight-bed telemetry system.<\/p>\n
These also include a video monitoring system in the ICU for up-to-date patient care, colonoscope, stenoscope, C-arm Surgical System, fiber optic bronchioscope, wheelchairs, and recliner chairs for hemo-dialysis patients.<\/p>\n
Most recently, the association purchased a computer system that allows the immediate view of X-rays by doctors to benefit CHC patients and the community.<\/p>\n
OBP hopes to see everyone at the tournament \u201cfor a friendly game of golf, a good time, and most importantly, to help the CHC volunteers with their mission of helping CHC improve the quality of health care in the CNMI.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
