Winthrop-University Hospital is privileged to have thoughtful and considerate support from members of a unique group of donors: The Guardian Society. Society members have arranged to perpetuate Winthrop's tradition of superior patient care and commitment to a welcoming and world class healing environment with bequests, charitable trusts or gifts of life insurance.

Most members choose to preserve assets during their lifetime by including Winthrop in a will or testamentary trust, while others enjoy current taxsaving and estate planning benefits from charitable giving vehicles tailored to individual circumstances. Many Guardian Society members share a common desire to memorialize annual contributions and assure future funding for a favored program or service. Their commitments may be designated to assist specific services, including the Chaplaincy Program Endowment, which ensures the continuation of pastoral care services addressing the spiritual needs of patients and their families.

Making a Guardian Society commitment is a special way of planning for Winthrop's future along with your own. If you are interested in joining the Guardian Society, we would be pleased to send you information about including Winthrop in a will or estate plan.
