Your Legacy is our Future
Planned gifts are as unique as the people inspired to give. Planned gifts provide meaningful support to Columbia Memorial Health while helping to fulfill your personal legacy and achieve your financial goals.
Make a lasting impact for the people most important to you while supporting Columbia Memorial Health’s Mission “to provide our communities with safe, high-quality, comprehensive health care services in a dignified and compassionate manner.”
You can establish a planned gift that benefits you, your family and Columbia Memorial Health. Some gifts can help you maximize lifetime income. Others can reduce estate taxes faced by your heirs. Click here to read about gift options that will match your personal goals with your gift.
Regardless of the size of your estate, proper planning is important to ensure that the assets you have worked a lifetime accumulating are distributed according to your wishes. As with all tax and estate planning, please consult with your attorney or tax advisor. We are here to answer questions and offer suggestions confidentially based upon your personal circumstances and interests. Click here to download your copy of the Estate Intention Form.
If you have already included Columbia Memorial Health in your plans, don’t forget to let us know so we understand your goals and passion for giving. We would also like to express our appreciation and welcome you as a member of our Legacy Society. Your gift may also remain anonymous.
