Our Legacy Society was established in 2007 to recognize generous donors who help secure Angel Medical Center's long-term future by including the Foundation for Angel Medical Center in their estate plans. Donors who make a deferred gift to the Foundation are members of our legacy society.

If you have already included Angel Medical Center in your estate, please contact us so we can acknowledge your generosity and enroll you in our Legacy Society.

Why Make A Planned Gift? By making a planned gift, you can give valuable lasting support to Angel Medical Center while also providing for your family members. Planning your estate is challenging and through one-on-one consultations we can answer your questions about establishing a planned gift and help ensure that your wishes concerning your estate and Angel Medical Center will be carried out.
