Outreach
50th District Basketball Tournament
Grace Health was happy to once again help sponsor the 50th District Basketball Tournament, held at Corbin High School on February 22-25. Teams from South Laurel, Corbin, Whitley County, and Williamsburg, the four 50th district schools, played six games during the course of the tournament with South Laurel boys and girls bringing home the 50th District Championship trophies.
Grace Health's outreach team used the games to connect with the public, hoping to make high-quality health care access available for everyone. As part of this effort, the outreach team gave out free items at the booth for the fans. This interaction allowed the outreach team to also give out information to individuals about who Grace Health is and share the values and mission of Grace Health.
We’re proud to be the sponsor of this amazing event and a great day of area basketball games!
