Planned Giving
In the last five years, the St. Mary's Hospital
Foundation has raised more than $900,000. To continue this level of philanthropy,
the foundation respectfully requests that you consider becoming a donor.
Your donation may go to a general fund, or you may specify where you would
like your gift to go.
A Growing Community With Growing Needs
Northwest Arkansas and the surrounding communities are growing. As they
do, the need for quality health care grows as well. At St. Mary's Hospital,
providing the best care possible is a top priority. Thanks to a team of
dedicated people who provide their best care, lives are saved and healthcare
advances happen every day. But as time continues, the cost of such quality
care increases due to the changing needs of our communities and the need
for accessible state-of-the-art equipment and services.
Through the years, the financial support
of many generous people has helped St. Mary's Hospital expand and provide
up-to-date healthcare services. We at St. Mary's Hospital Foundation acknowledge
that these individuals are not only concerned about today's health care
but also with the future. And we appreciate those who have included St.
Mary's Hospital in their estate plan by providing a deferred gift.

to ensure that the donor's wishes are properly followed.
