"Suffolk deeply appreciates the unwavering commitment of Lee Health in providing exceptional healthcare services to the residents of Southwest Florida," said Ben Wilson, General Manager of Suffolk's Gulf Coast operations.

Together, we strive to push the boundaries and set new standards in healthcare excellence for our community."

Nearly 100 participants attended the event, which included breakfast, lunch, and a competitive clay shoot. The day concluded with an awards ceremony recognizing the top-performing teams.
