Events

At the St. John’s ICARE Foundation, we are very active in our community.
We use every opportunity to bring awareness and support for Episcopal Health Services
and St. John’s Episcopal Hospital through community and signature events.

Whether it’s the St. John’s Invitational Golf Tournament or the Community and Back-to-School Wellness Event, St. John’s ICARE Foundation team members, supporters and volunteers are always taking part in an event or activity to help our patients and community as they travel on the path to wellness.
