Heritage Society gifts leave a legacy for Swedish Hospital to continue providing much-needed services for underserved communities

Planned Giving

Many donors have enhanced the hospital’s ability to care for the community while successfully increasing the size of their estates and/or reducing the tax burdens on their heirs. Such as a bequest or charitable gift annuity are excellent ways to leave a legacy while supporting a program or service at Swedish Hospital. Please contact the foundation office or visit the Planned Giving page for more information. In addition, friends who provide a planned gift are recognized as members of the hospital’s Heritage Society, and invited to special programs and events throughout the year.
