South Central Regional Medical Center has conducted free community health screenings and other community health initiatives for years. Over the years thousands of area residents have participated in their free screening programs and many lives have been saved as a result of the initiatives. Rather than treating a condition after it has progressed to an advanced stage one should participate in prevention programs which can prevent disease or identify disease early so that it has a better cure rate. The cost of providing free health screenings can be high, but South Central provides them as a service to the community. Screenings continue to be offered free of charge because of the generous contributions made at the Art of Healing and other foundation events.
How Mobile Bidding Works:
This year’s Art of Healing will feature Greater Giving’s Mobile Bidding Software, which allows you to place bids on silent auction items using your smartphone, iPad, tablet or computer.
Contact your cellular provider and request for them to unlock the 5 digit smart code texting. This will allow you to receive text messages through this system.
Register your Smartphone
You can register your smartphone and receive a bidder number by providing your name, mobile phone number and credit card information to an event volunteer during guest check-in.
Once your smartphone is registered, you will receive a text message containing a link to your bidder URL.
Simply click on the text message then select the red Yes! button when you see your name.
Your name and bid number will appear on the top left corner of your screen.
Note: Click on the original text message at any time to return to Mobile Bidding. You may also access Mobile Bidding by typing the following URL into your browser: then entering your mobile phone number or bid number to continue.
View Auction Items
Click on red Show Packages Button to see all silent auction items.
You can also search for items by entering package number or name in the Package#/Keyword box with the red outline, then clicking on the red OK button.
To return to your home page, click on the small, white House Icon in the black band on the top, left corner of your screen.
Place Bids
Select details/bid button to bid on an item and select the next incremental dollar amount to place a bid or watch to keep track of bids on a particular item.
You can keep an eye on packages you have bid on or are watching by selecting the My Bids button.
Watch the event timer on the upper left of your screen in the blank band. As soon as the silent auction closes, the guest with the highest bid will win. High bids will be displayed to others using your Bid Number, not your name.
Bid Buddies
If you don't have a smartphone, or don't wish to use it, don't worry. Look for the Mobile Bid Station in the Silent Auction Atrium or Visit the Registration Desk. There you will find a Bid Buddy who can place bids on your behalf.
Check Out
Check to see which items you have won under My Bids. Your silent auction items will be available for pickup when you check out. You may use the credit card you have on file to pay for any items you have won or may provide a new card, pay cash or check upon checkout.
