On Friday evening, October 29, the Saluda Medical Center will hold its Third Annual Fundraiser Masquerade Ball at the Saluda Mountain Jamboree to raise funds intended to support expenses not included in the centers operational budget, specifically improvements to the facility.

Providing comprehensive and accessible medical care to all individuals, regardless of age, income, or health insurance status, and serving Polk, Henderson, and the surrounding communities, the Saluda Medical Center is a private, non-profit rural health center located near downtown Saluda.

A sliding fee scale is offered to uninsured patients who cannot afford to pay the full cost of services, and qualifying individuals, regardless of where they receive their medical care, can obtain prescription drugs at almost no cost.

Tickets to the ball are tax-deductible. Music will be provided by Sound Investment. A BBQ dinner is included with the price of admission. There will be prizes for costume contests and a raffle, dancing, and a cash bar. Photos will be taken by a professional photographer.

Tickets are on sale at the Saluda Medical Center, Manna Cabannas Produce Market (Wednesday through Saturday), Cathy Jackson Realty, A Thrifty Barn, Macon Bank, and the Saluda Mountain Jamboree.
