South Central Health Care Foundation received donations made during a luncheon on Friday, February 19th hosted by Magnolia Real Estate in Ellisville. They invited area residents and realtors to bring books or make donations to the South Central Health Care Foundation.
Magnolia Real Estate presented Vicki Walters, Director of Pediatrics at South Central Regional Medical Center, with 100 books and a monetary donation of $475. Walters said, “The funds raised will be donated to South Central Pediatric Unit in an effort help entertain children while they are patients and also purchase necessary supplies and equipment in order to provide excellent care to these children.”
Dr. Susan Barnett, Broker for Magnolia Real Estate, spoke to South Central’s management team Friday, February 26th stating, “Children are close to our hearts and we wanted to give back to the community in a special way. We felt that our business had done well over the past year and we felt that South Central would be a great organization to support.” Dr. Barnett recognized Magnolia Real Estate’s realtors, Sandra Wright, Kathy Smith, Dianne Speed, Roger Speed and Ron Windham for all of their hard work in helping facilitate the luncheon and fundraiser.
Dr. Barnett went on to say that she felt blessed to have such a good medical center right here in our own backyard and the community should not take that for granted.
South Central Health Care Foundation is dedicated to offering quality health care services and education for our community. Established in 1992, the Foundation’s purpose is to inspire charitable giving which advances South Central Regional Medical Center’s pursuit of excellence in serving patients and their families.

Slowly but Surely
How was your Super Bowl Weekend? Mallorie and I had a full schedule as we attended the “Krewe of Docs” hosted by Oncologics to benefit the American Cancer Society Saturday night. The event was held here in Downtown Laurel and everyone did a great job. The Cowboy Blues Band played the night away and fun was had by all. We got geared up again Sunday night for Super Bowl festivities. After our Saints fell short against the 49ers, I was less than excited about this year’s big game. I picked a favorite anyway and my allegiance fell on the shoulders of Eli and the Giants. It was a great game to watch as a football fan and as always the commercials were pretty great too.

What a great weekend! The weather was just right for getting outside and practicing your favorite hobby or just “piddlin” around.
