Ladies Charity Golf Classic

"Thank you for helping me at my time of need.  With your assistance, I was able to have the diagnostic ultrasound without the stress of wondering how I would pay for it."

"I am going to keep the acceptance letter that you sent to me.  In the future, when I am able, I will return this gift." 

Ladies, golf and good health.  In 1997, a rewarding partnership was formed to benefit breast cancer programs, projects and services.  Since that time nearly $80,000 has been raised to assist the San Juan Medical Foundation in its mission to improve health care services in the Four Corners.

What We Do

The Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund is designed to provide financial assistance to low-income women in need of cancer-related medical services, including screening, disgnosis, treatment or rehabilitation.

The fund, initially established by her family, is a living tribute to Cathy Lincoln - a much respected nurse at San Juan Regional Medical Center.  Cathy's death, at age, 42, resulted from breast cancer.  Through her patient care experience and own cancer treatment experience, Cathy met many women who delayed medical care due to costs they could not meet.  The outcome was often devastating.

Applications for the Cathy Lincoln Memeorial Cancer Fund are referred by physicians, reviewed by a volunteer panel and administered by the San Juan Medical Foundation.  Preference is given to those who have exhausted other means of financial support.  A recent telephone call to the Medical Foundation office reflects the ongoing need:

"I am calling to get information about the Cathy Lincoln Fund.  I am a single mom going through tough times.  I had to choose between the children's needs and my own.  My family has a history of breast cancer and I haven't had a mammogram recently."

A good (or even bad) game of golf is a celebraton of life and health.  Thanks to all those that have participated in the annual tournament that benefits women whose lack of financial resources would have delayed or prevented medical treatments.
