Project Turnabout held their 30th Annual Golf Scramble this past Friday, September 16th at the Granite Falls golf course. CEO Marti Paulson was present and spoke at the event before tee off was held at 12 pm. Paulson spoke about the incredible community support Project Turnabout has been fortunate to have over the last 30 years. She also spoke of the timeliness and quality of superior care that the ambulance crew has always provided, as well as expressing gratitude for the police force and how they’ve always worked so well with Project Turnabout over the decades. 100% of the proceeds from the golf scramble event is being used for the Caring and Sharing Patient Program at Project Turnabout; the program is in place to help patients in need, as many come to treatment with little to nothing.
