Planned Giving Is Not Just for the Wealthy
Your gift of literally any size will help us accomplish the tangible.
It will help you ensure that your good works outlive you and that
your hospital will remain strong for those you leave.
What is a Planned Gift?
A basic definition of a planned gift is a gift other than cash.
An example of a planned gift is a provision for a charitable organization
in a will. This kind of provision, called a bequest, remains the
most common type of planned gift. Today, there are numerous other
planned giving vehicles and we encourage you to explore each of
them.
Following are a variety of creative ways to give to charitable organizations
in your current budget or estate plan. Depending upon your unique
situation and desires, you may use one or several of these ideas

"Seven years ago I came into the hospital
with a broken pelvis and shattered humorous. To make a long story
short, LMH (Dr. Ken, innumerable nurses, Mike the PT, Marian the
housekeeper and others – skilled and caring all) fixed me."
"The genuine care the hospital staff
felt showed itself a year later. My wife, Jean, and I were walking
across a parking lot when a young woman came running toward us from
several aisles over shouting my name. Just before she threw her
arms around me, I recognized Kim, the most thoughtful of many such
nurses that cared for me. Now, that’s health care!"
"This year Jean ended up at LMH with
blood clots in her lungs. We got a quick diagnosis and calm reassurance
in the ER and care that verged on pampering in the ICU and, when
rehab began, we got Debbie (wife of my Mike) for PT."
"There are so many good things
about Lawrence, and LMH is at the top of the list."
