What do these people have in common?
They each made the decision to include a gift in their estate plans to ensure the bright future of quality, compassionate, and accessible care at Baystate Health.
Some took the time to create a will or trust. Others designated Baystate Health Foundation as the beneficiary of a retirement, savings, or stock account, or a life insurance policy.
Some of them had their lives saved by Baystate Health. Others were grateful for exceptional care that gave them years more of quality time. Some gave back because loved ones had benefited from the expertise of Baystate surgeons and specialists. Others created their gift out of a belief that Baystate Health is a pillar of the community—rooted here, serving here, and helping generations thrive here.
No matter their profession or background, they shared a common belief – that they could do good with their money. That they could leave a legacy that would benefit others. That it was worth taking the time to create an estate plan that shared their values and included a gift to Baystate Health. That every gift, large or small, would make a meaningful difference. That quality local healthcare matters.
This new year, why not consider creating your own legacy gift too?
