HARRIS – Join WSUL 98.3 / 95.7 and WVOS 95.9 as they join forces to raise money for the Cardio-Pulmonary Department of Catskill Regional Medical Center. This year’s 32^nd Annual Heart-a-thon will take place at Catskill Regional Medical Center’s Garden Level Food Court on Saturday, February 27 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This year’s event honors former Town of Thompson Supervisor and community activist David Kaufman (in photo at left with his wife Shirley) for a Lifetime of Achievement and his Ongoing Support of the WSUL/WVOS Heart-a-thon and Catskill Regional Medical Center.

Over the last 32 years, the WSUL/WVOS Heart-a-thon has raised over $1.5 million dollars in name of “Heart Health.”

For the last 3 years Watermark Communications – owner of WSUL and WVOS – has committed 100 percent of all proceeds to the Cardio Pulmonary Department at Catskill Regional Medical Center in Harris.

Total for the last three years are in excess of $175,000.

This year, all contributions will go to CRMC’s Cardio-Pulmonary Department for the purchase of a new Telemetry system, which provides wireless bedside monitoring between a central station and patient, and continuous surveillance for ambulatory cardiac patients.

WSUL and WVOS will both broadcast live from the hospital for the entire event.
