Samaritan Foundation Desert Golf Classic draws full house

MOSES LAKE — The fundraising golf tournament sponsored by the Samaritan Healthcare Foundation drew a full field of 32 teams to The Links at Moses Pointe Thursday. Proceeds from the 21st Desert Golf Classic will go toward the “Build Community” project, the construction of a new Samaritan Hospital. “We are going ahead with that hospital,” said foundation board member Susan Carbon, who’s also a hospital district commissioner. Construction of the new hospital has been delayed while district officials work to address a funding shortfall, the result of steep increases in construction costs.
