Creating a Legacy or Planned Gift is a special way to honour Lakeridge Health Oshawa. Your legacy can be designated to an area of greatest need or, be designated to one of its many programs including the R.S. McLaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Centre, Mental Health, Dialysis, the District Stroke Centre, or the Heather Griffith Breast Assessment Centre.
Planned gifts, such as a bequest, gift of insurance, or gift of retirement funds, enable you to make a significant financial contribution that you may not be able to currently give. By carefully assessing your personal philanthropic goals, including personal and family needs, as well as tax considerations, you can determine the best way to plan your legacy. Your professional tax and legal advisors can help you make this assessment.
Your legacy gift will help us deliver excellent care every moment of every day to the thousands of patients who turn to Lakeridge Health Oshawa for compassion and care. It has taken you the greater part of your life to build your home, your family, and your community, culminating in the values that are important to you. We, at The Oshawa Hospital Foundation, believe that you should take as much care in deciding how to disperse your assets as you did in building it.
If you would like to explore how you can build your legacy at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, please contact Mary Slavik, at The Oshawa Hospital Foundation at 905-433-4339, ext. 4656, or by e-mail at mslavik@lakeridgehealth.on.ca.
