DUBOIS -The staff of the Penn Highlands Healthcare Fund Development Department is delighted to announce that the sixth annual Dr. Gary DuGan Memorial 5K Run/Walk was a great success.
More than 100 people participated in the popular event on Aug. 24, 2024 and virtually raising $22,541.58 to further the educational needs of residents participating in the Graduate Medical Education Program at Penn Highlands DuBois.
The proceeds included participant registrations, sponsorships, in-kind gifts, T-shirt sales and basket raffles.
The Fund Development Department thanks everyone who participated in or donated to the Run/Walk at DuBois City Park.
Dr. DuGan is remembered for his many contributions at Penn Highlands Healthcare, in particular as an integral figure in developing the health system’s GME program.
The Penn Highlands GME program offers medical students and recent medical school graduates opportunities for rotations and one-on-one time with attending physicians, helping to equip residents and fellows with the inpatient and outpatient training they need to prepare to meet the demands of rural health care.
Plans are already underway for the 2025 event next summer.
