Local News in Brief : Benefit Raises $40,000
More than $40,000 was raised for San Pedro Peninsula Hospital by 100 walkers, joggers and runners at the hospital foundation’s recent seventh annual Jog-Walk-a-Thon.
The money will be used to buy monitoring equipment for the hospital’s intensive care unit. The equipment will monitor such things as breathing, heart rates and blood pressure.
The top fund-raiser at the June 4 event on the track at San Pedro High School was Dr. Herbert Webb, the intensive care unit medical director, who obtained $11,370 in pledges. He was followed by two other staff doctors, Dr. Milford Wyman, who raised $6,720, and Dr. Robert O. Bloch, $6,400.
