Compass Memorial Healthcare Foundation plans 4th annual gala

(Editor’s note: This article has been edited to correct the start time.)

The Compass Memorial Healthcare Foundation’s Fourth Annual Gala is set for 4:30-11 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at the Michael J. Manatt Community Center in Brooklyn.

Seats are available for purchase, but the event sells out quickly, so the Foundation encourages guests to secure their seats early.

The public is invited to attend this fundraiser and make an impact for neighbors and the broader communities that Compass Memorial Healthcare serves.

The cost is $100 per seat. Group seating is available with and without sponsorship. Contact Mary Warwick, the CMH Foundation Director, to reserve seats at MWarwick@CompassMemorial.org or 319-642-8086.

The Gala is a black-tie event. A plated dinner, catered by Peppercorn at the Bank, will be served at 6 p.m. Following dinner, guests can take part in both online and live auctions featuring a wide variety of items.

The online auction will close at 10 p.m. Bidders do not have to be in attendance.

An evening of dancing will follow the live auction.

Looking ahead to 2026, Compass announces its next major initiative: the acquisition and implementation of robotic-assisted surgery within its orthopedic specialty services.

Robotic-assisted surgery represents a significant step forward in enhancing precision, improving patient outcomes and elevating the level of care Compass provides close to home, Compass said in a press release.
