Golfing on a pleasant summer day at the coast. 🏌️‍♀️ ⛳
Supporting a good cause. 💰
Meeting an NFL icon. 🏈

All in all, it was a good outing for our coastal Samaritan folks at the Neighbors for Kids 17th Annual Kids Zone Classic!

"We didn't win, but we represented well," said Lesley Ogden, MD, Samaritan's Coast Hospitals CEO. Her husband, William, took a group selfie of the Samaritan team that also included Coast Hospitals COO Ryan Combs and Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital Director of Plant Services Jon Conner.

And, in case you don't recognize the man with the football, that's Dan Fouts, who auctioned off items including signed jerseys and footballs. A longtime supporter of Neighbors for Kids, Fouts is a former San Diego Chargers quarterback who was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993, his first year of eligibility.
