Dr. Ronald Schulgit is a family, sports, and geriatric medicine practitioner committed to his patients and his community.
His patients describe him as an impressive combination of intensely thorough and professional, along with humble, friendly and personable. He cares for his patients’ overall wellbeing and takes the time to learn all he needs to know to properly care for each patient as an individual.
Sixteen years ago, Schulgit co-founded a community tennis event to benefit the All Saints Healthcare Foundation in Racine. When his partner, Chris Leberfeng, wanted to do a tennis fundraiser benefitting the All Saints Foundation, he was connected to Schulgit, as they are both tennis players.
“I liked the idea because everybody does golf events and that leaves us tennis aficionados out in the cold,” says Schulgit. “Also, golf outings can be intimidating.”
The All Saints Healthcare Foundation Charity Tennis Tournament raises funds for specific causes supported by the All Saints Foundation, both at and around the hospital and community. Some of the causes the event has supported over the years include childhood obesity programs, neonatal care and cardiac care, among many others.
Thanks to Schulgit’s enthusiasm in leading the charge each year and inviting people to participate, the event has raised more than $150,000.
Schulgit is a past recipient of the Wisconsin Academy of Family Physicians’ Family Physician Community Service Award, the All Saints Healthcare Foundation Leadership Award and the Heart of All Saints annual award.
