Ways to Support Your Good Samaritan Hospital
There are many ways to support local healthcare — to help us further invest in clinical advancement, facilities, equipment and technology — through charitable gifts that are most meaningful to you:
Donations and Tributes (In Memory/In Honor)
Make a donation to show your support or pay tribute to someone important to you by making a gift to the hospital to celebrate milestones, or commemorate the passing of a loved one.
Planned Giving
Ensure your legacy through a planned gift for the hospital that can also benefit your family through financial and tax planning.
Impact Society
Make regular donations to automatically donate a specified amount each month.
Grateful Patient and Family Gifts
When words are not enough to express gratitude for the care provided, grateful giving extends that appreciation.
Host a Fundraiser
Put the fun in Fundraiser and host an event — such as a themed party, walk-a-thon, raffle and more — with proceeds donated to your hospital to support the programs that matter to you.
