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.

Endowed Named Fund
A gift to the endowment is an investment in Gaylord Hospital. The income promises to ensure the quality of care for generations to come. When establishing an Endowed Named Fund, you may specify how you want the funds used. You define the fund’s purpose, whether it be:

  • Patient care
  • Therapeutic recreation
  • Campus beautification
  • 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.
