Let’s Plan Together for a Healthier Future
The vision at Summit Pacific Medical Center (SPMC) is to build the healthiest community in the Nation. You can be a major factor in achieving this vision by working with Summit Pacific Medical Foundation to understand our shared goals and making charitable gifts that save you taxes AND address your personal financial needs. Let us help you PLAN YOUR GIVING to support your family and the community served by Summit Pacific!
The most common “planned gifts” are bequests, or gifts through your will. A bequest is especially appropriate if you wish to retain full control of your property (or assets) during life, while still providing a wonderful gift and lasting legacy for continued support of Summit Pacific Medical Foundation and its programs. Summit Pacific Medical Foundation can be named as a beneficiary in your will in any number of ways. You may make a specific dollar bequest or choose to give a percentage of your estate.
The best Planned Giving approach is to save taxes while:
- Helping Summit Pacific support the annual needs of the community,
- Helping Summit Pacific grow with new capital projects,
- Helping build an endowment to allow Summit Pacific to continue to support our growing community, and
- Making a gift from assets left over in your estate.
We can help you apply Planned Giving to accomplish all four of these goals and establish a legacy for your family and the community.
