Golf tournament remembers respiratory therapist, supports GRU students
The Georgia Regents University Department of Respiratory Therapy will host the seventh annual Art Hardy Memorial Golf Tournament Friday, April 26 at Forest Hills Golf Club.

“We are grateful to our sponsors for their continued support of our students through this event,” said Dr. Art Taft, Respiratory Therapy Program Director and Acting Department Chair. “The tournament gets better and better every year, giving students, faculty members, alumni and community members the opportunity to enjoy a friendly competition while remembering a great guy and supporting a great cause.”
Hardy, a former U.S. Army Green Beret with an impressive military career, was a respiratory therapy technician for 12 years before earning a respiratory therapy degree in in 1991.
