(Chester, CA) — On May 30th, the Seneca Healthcare Foundation (SHF) hosted its inaugural charity golf tournament at Bailey Creek Golf Course, bringing in over $85,000 and raising awareness for the construction of the new Lake Almanor Community Hospital.
Over 100 golfers—including sponsors, healthcare professionals, and community supporters—came out to show their support. The tournament featured unique amenities such as a MASH*-themed drink station, live stand-up comedy from the Hole Hecklers, and more. This exciting event marks the beginning of a new charitable tradition in support of healthcare in the Lake Almanor Basin.
“The turnout was incredible, and it’s heartwarming to see our community rally around such an important cause,” said Chelssa Outland, Executive Director of SHF. “This hospital will be a cornerstone of health and wellness for generations to come.”
The new Lake Almanor Community Hospital, expected to welcome its first patient in early 2027, will expand and improve access to critical medical services for residents in the Lake Almanor Basin and surrounding communities.
