Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s (BMH) 35th Annual Valentine Ball was held Saturday, Feb. 10, at Tabby Place in Beaufort, featuring dozens of pre-ball dinner parties followed by live music performed by BOUNCE, a silent auction, cocktails, and dessert.
Co-chaired by Dr. and Mrs. Patrick Meehan, and Mr. and Mrs. Chris Ketchie, this year’s event will support the future nursing education center, a critical extension of the hospital’s efforts to continue providing career paths and opportunities for current employees and training new generations of health care providers to meet the growing needs of the community.
Since its 1989 inception, the annual event has raised more than $7 million dollars to establish, sustain, or grow key service lines and facilities, including the recently renovated Cochrane Heart Center, the Level-II Collins Birthing Center, MUSC-affiliated Keyserling Cancer Center, and the expanded Sol Neidich Inpatient Mental Health Unit.
