OakBend VP Sue McCarty and LEAF Board president Judi Vernon try to find the perfect party shirt for OakBend Medical Center’s Chief Executive Officer Joe Freudenberger.
The azaleas are in bloom, the wild flowers are out, the cold weather is gone. It’s time to hit the beach because “Surf’s Up!”
OakBend Medical Center is the title sponsor for the 2013 Surf’s Up School’s Out, with the Triumphs, benefitting the Lamar Educational Awards foundation (L.E.A.F.).
