What is the Legacy Society?
Baptist Health Care Foundation is fortunate to have thousands of donors who see the value of investing in quality health care for our community. Whether donors support Baptist LifeFlight, cancer care, senior service or any of the many other services provided by Baptist Health Care, they are assured that their gifts are being used for worthwhile purposes. Most of our donors make annual gifts in support of the work of Baptist Health Care, but some have also made plans to ensure that their gifts will continue to make a difference for generations to come.

The Legacy Society is an organization consisting of special donors who believe so strongly in our mission that they have included Baptist Health Care Foundation in their estate plans. The membership in the Society, consisting of both individuals and families, has grown each year since its formation. The Foundation recognizes the Legacy Society members for their support, and the Foundation respects the wishes of those who desire no recognition.

As you make your plans for charitable giving, please consider the Baptist Health Care Foundation Legacy Society. Through the commitment of Baptist Health Care and the future gifts of Legacy Society members, we will secure a better tomorrow for everyone in our community.
