WAREHAM, Mass. — Tobey Hospital will be hosting the summer's premiere event on Friday, September 12, at One Water Street in Marion.
"Moby Tobey ~ A Whale of a Party" will benefit the purchase of a digital X-ray machine dedicated to the Tobey Hospital Emergency Department. The evening will feature an open bar, sushi and raw bar, food stations by area restaurants and the 20-piece, internationally acclaimed Compaq Big Band. Cocktails will be served at 6:30 p.m. and dinner at 7:30 p.m.
Ticket prices and sponsorships are available by calling the Philanthropy Office at Tobey Hospital at 508-273-4362. RSVP by September 3 to ensure your information will be included in the program book.
Proceeds from "Moby Tobey" will benefit the purchase of a digital portable X-ray unit for the Tobey Emergency Department. This new technology will allow patients who are not able to be transported to Radiology to receive an X-ray at the bedside. The X-ray is then processed on a digitizer, which allows the images to be sent over the hospital network directly to the radiologist for interpretation. This improvement enables care and treatment to be initiated in a more timely manner, especially when minutes count.
