Fore!
Mammoth Hospital held its 6th annual Cancer Outreach Golf Tournament Friday, June 26, with much success. Proceeds received with great turnout and support from sponsors will fund Mammoth Hospital’s Cancer Outreach Program.
Because Mammoth Hospital does not offer primary oncology care, local residents travel out of the area to receive such care. Through donations, the Cancer Outreach Program can financially assist with travel expenses to those cancer patients living or working in Mono County with gas, meals, and lodging needs.
Mammoth Hospital would like to thank our community and businesses who generously supported the 6th annual Cancer Outreach Golf Tournament, from our host, Brian Venneman – local cancer survivor, to our title sponsors Mission Linen, Sierra Star Golf Course, all our players, volunteers and sponsors who helped us make this event a huge success!

A personal thank you
In May I was involved in an accident in which I received a very traumatic injury. Initially I was aided by an employee of Mono County Public Works, along with the Mono County Paramedics, Bridgeport Fire Department and members from the Mono County Sheriff’s Department.
At Mammoth Hospital I was sent into surgery and was treated by Doctor Robinson who responded from home. I was admitted for four days and received excellent care from the staff. Over the following weeks, I was assisted by Mono County Paramedics, June Lake Fire Department, along with friends and colleagues.
Their assistance was invaluable; from helping me up and down stairs with manpower and specialized equipment, building a ramp to access rooms via wheelchair, having wood cut and stacked in my driveway, etc. The recovery ahead will be hard but I will get back to ‘normal’ as I am now receiving outstanding care from the therapists at the Sierra Park Sports Center.
I want to say thank you to everyone. The residents of Mono County are unsurpassed in helping others out, both if it is a friend or just someone who they come across in their personal or professional lives.
I also want to send out a huge thank you to my wife and kids, as they did it all for me in my time of need. Family is important in everything life has to offer you: good or bad. My family is the best, I couldn’t ask for anyone better!!!
