Planned Giving

Create a Legacy

When you give a planned gift for the future, you are leaving a legacy – a reflection of your values, priorities and commitment to support exceptional health care in your community. We encourage you to discuss with your tax and/or financial advisor what is best for you and your financial planning and tax situation.

If you wish to name Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation in your will or estate plan, we should be named as:

Please let us know when you include us as part of your legacy. We want to thank you during your lifetime and work with you to ensure that your gift accomplishes all that you wish.

If you would like to discuss a legacy gift call Foundation Executive Director Jane Sybers at 608-324-2868 or e-mail at jane.sybers@ssmhealth.com

If you wish to designate your contribution for use in a specific SSM Health Monroe Hospital program or location, please contact our office at 608-324-2868. We would be happy to work with you-or your advisor-to ensure your gift has the impact you desire.

If you do choose to designate your contribution, we also suggest the following language: My gift may be redirected by Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation to a SSM Health Monroe Hospital program where it is most needed if the designated program is no longer active.

A bequest to the Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation is a meaningful way to express what is important to you when your estate is distributed.

Call your hospital Foundation for more information about your options.

You can name Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation as a beneficiary on your existing life insurance policy, financial accounts or retirement accounts. You may also wish to establish or purchase one for gifting to the hospital. Additional tax benefits may be available for this giving option.

A trust can be created to benefit yourself, your family and the Foundation. A living trust offers revocability, thus allowing you to retain control.
