Support Suburban Hospital
Planned Giving
Planned giving opportunities allow you to make a philanthropic contribution while addressing your own financial goals or providing for loved ones.
On April 5, 1991, Suburban Hospital saved Cathy O’Donnell’s life. That day, a car accident left her with no pulse at the scene and a low chance of survival, but a five-hour surgery ensured she’d pull through. The experience—plus the five weeks that Cathy stayed at the hospital—left a lasting impression. Cathy and her husband, Earle, found ways to remain connected to Suburban in the following decades, supporting the hospital’s recent 300,000 square-foot building addition, serving on the hospital’s Foundation Board—and making a commitment to the hospital’s future in their estate plan.
Wills and Bequests
One significant way to support Suburban Hospital is to include us in your will. Large and small, these gifts are vital to the success of Suburban’s efforts to continue to provide the best care possible to you, your loved ones, and our growing community. Designating Suburban as a beneficiary of all or part of your retirement account is another way to leave a legacy.
Gifts that Pay You Back
Life-income gifts provide income to you or others for life or a term of years, with the remainder to be used for the purpose you designate at Suburban. Examples of these gifts include charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts.
