Resolve to Support Your Community HospitalAs one year draws to a close and another opens, it is natural to reflect upon what you have done well in the past year and resolve to make improvements in the future. Assessing your support of your community and how that support can work for you is part of that process.While making your New Year’s resolutions, resolve to make your not-for-profit community hospital one of your top three charities. Your gift to Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital will help ensure that the best possible healthcare is available for you and your loved ones right here in your community. In the past year, community support has helped bring life-saving services — such as angioplasty, advanced radiological screening and the most advanced brain and spine surgery — to Southcoast hospitals. In addition, Southcoast has brought health services into the community through the Mobile Health Services Van, including services such as prostate, vascular, cardiac risk assessment and skin cancer screenings. Your donation will help continue and broaden these services. Carefully planned gifts also can reap financial benefits for you. Gifts of cash, stocks, bonds and mutual funds can provide tax savings. And through wills, life insurance policies, retirement accounts and other financial planning tools, you can leave a lasting legacy to your community hospital. There are even arrangements that can provide you with income during your lifetime while leaving a generous gift. Resolve to make Charlton Memorial, St. Luke’s or Tobey Hospital one of your top three charities today.
