About Our Planned Gifts Program

The Sturdy Health Foundation Legacy Society honors members of our community who have provided for Sturdy Health – Sturdy Memorial Hospital in their estate plans. For decades we have benefited from the generosity of special friends who have furthered Sturdy’s mission to improve the health and well-being of the people in our communities through kindness, compassion and convenient access to the highest quality care. Planned gifts for programmatic support, capital improvements, breakthrough technology, and funds to assist the needy, have allowed for Sturdy Health to improve its facilities and directly help patients.

Participation in Sturdy's Legacy Society is simple.
