What: Join IMD Guest House Foundation for an afternoon of golf in support of its mission to provide low-cost lodging and services for patients and their families while receiving treatment from partner hospitals in the Illinois Medical District. The IMD Guesthouse Foundation is a safe haven for families of those undergoing critical medical treatment. Supporters can play a round of golf and or purchase a ticket for the “Helicopter Drop,” where hundreds of numbered golf balls will be released from 50 feet to the ground below. Balls landing in the hole will receive a prize. More details can be found online at imdguesthouse.org and follow the links to the golf outing

About IMD Guest House Foundation
IMD Guest House first opened its doors in October 2005 and provides accommodations in the form of furnished apartments located within the University of Illinois at Chicago. The IMD Guest House Foundation was originally formed to provide affordable accommodations to serve as a home-away-from-home for families and friends of loved ones receiving medical care in the Illinois Medical District (IMD) area. The Guest House's mission has since expanded to serve not only families and friends of patients, but the patients themselves. The Guest House strives to provide a worry-free, supportive experience for its guests.
