A Bequest to Further Good Work

Nancy and David were dedicated volunteers. Over the years, they had seen many individuals impacted by the good work of Mission Hospital. They wanted to create a legacy to provide future support to continue the Hospital.

Dave: The work of Mission Hospital was important to us and we provided support with current gifts, but wanted to do more. We received their newsletter and noted that we could make a gift from our estate. We saw a picture of smiling people just like us and we wanted to be part of that group.

Nancy: We met with our lawyer to revise our wills, we included a provision for a bequest. Our lawyer put language in the will that allows a percentage of our estate to go to Mission Hospital. This was easy to arrange and permits us to still use our assets during our lives if we need them.

We told their gift planner about our decision and were excited when we were invited to a special event, the Summit Society Luncheon, honoring us. We will continue to make gifts during our lives, but it feels good to know that our support will help in the future.
