The sixth annual Claire Sweet Memorial
Golf Tournament will be held on Saturday,
Sept. 20 at Top of the World Golf Course on
Lake George. The event is a fundraiser for
High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care.
The
tournament features a shotgun start at 9 a.m.,
followed by a lunch provided by Farmhouse
Restaurant, as well as prizes and raffles.
In past years, the event has raised over
$80,000 to support High Peaks Hospice &
Palliative Care.
Hospice care is covered by the Medicare
Hospice Benefit, Medicaid and private insurance
carriers, but reimbursements do
not cover cost of specialized hospice care.
HPH&PC receives no federal or state support
and relies on the communities it serves to
make up the difference.
