As Delaware’s first and only pediatric skilled nursing facility, ECC provides transitional, long-term, and palliative care to children between the ages of birth and twenty-one who are medically-fragile and dependent on medical technology for survival. Our goal is to mimic the home setting and provide childhood experiences outside of an acute care hospital. Since opening its doors in 2006, ECC has provided a home to over one hundred twenty-five children from across the Mid-Atlantic region.
The golf tournament has grown over the years and the 2021 event features an afternoon full of exciting on-course prizes and contests, course drinks and boxed lunch, and a delicious dinner reception.
