Plan gifts for future generations

You can improve local healthcare by leaving a gift in your will to the Health Services Foundation of the South Shore.

Your future donation will continue to help your family and neighbours after you are gone. It will not impact you financially today and your estate will receive a tax credit to help against any lingering taxes owing.

You can even choose to designate your gift to either South Shore Regional Hospital or Fishermen's Memorial Hospital. Click here for samples of wording your will can include.

How you can include the Health Services Foundation in your will:

• A specific dollar amount.
• The remainder of your estate or a percentage of it, once those special to you are taken care of.
• Specific real estate, stocks or other capital assets.
• Any proceeds of life insurance policies or registered retirement funds.
