For more than a century, Gaylord has been devoted to making the hospital the best place to begin again for thousands of patients. Gaylord has been fortunate to have many patients, families, friends and businesses express their gratitude through gifts designed to continue the hospital’s work.

Planned Giving

Through planned giving, you show that you believe in the work of Gaylord Hospital, and you want to ensure that we will continue to help for the generations to come. Planned giving may be an ideal way for you to give a gift that makes a difference for us, but still considers your own future financial needs and those of your family.

Please visit our Planned Giving site for more information.

Other Opportunities

Capital Projects: 
New equipment and physical plant enhancements are just two examples of ways your gift can directly impact Gaylord and ensure the hospital’s tradition of excellence.

  • Research
  • Unrestricted (to be applied where the need is greatest)

The fund can be named for yourself or a loved one, and established with a minimum of $25,000.
