Ways of Giving
2008 Annual Fund
This
year, our $1.5 million Annual
Fund goal is being designated for new clinical equipment ranging
from new patient beds, to the latest advancements in breast imaging, to
anesthesia equipment for our operating room, and improvements to our
pharmacy and laboratory. Gifts of all sizes are required to meet these
and the many other needs of our patients. It’s a community-wide
effort. Smaller contributions
add up, and the largest contributions lead the way in providing access
for everyone to the best possible community hospital, close to home.
Memorials & Tributes
Tribute gifts are a thoughtful way to recognize a friend or
family member's special occasion or to honor the memory of a loved one.
Those who have gifts made in their memory will be displayed our Angel
of Hope Memorial Garden for two years, after which the plaque will be
permanently placed in the Hospital Chapel. All those honored with gifts
made in memory of or in honor of are listed in the Hospital's Annual
Report and other publications. When making a gift, please let us know
if you would like us to notify the family and their contact
information.
Planned Gifts

Hospital while providing potential benefits in estate planning. Some gift arrangements can provide a
