KICKIN' UP COUNTRY
June 6, 2026
For the past 23 years, the Friends of South Shore Health have raised funds for South Shore Health’s Home Care Division and South Shore VNA through this annual country-western themed, buffet dinner dance. A live band, fun photo booth, and fabulous raffles round out the night. Over the years, funds raised at this event have provided financial assistance to patients, covered care and/or clinical equipment that insurance would not cover, and purchased numerous items used in the field by our clinicians. Funds raised by Kickin' Up Country also purchased equipment for the VNA’s Home-Based Outpatient Rehab Program and helped establish a permanent Sim Lab in our Home Care Division building.
Please check back in March for registration information for this year's event.
