It is year-end.
In addition
to spending your health care
deductibles by squeezing in those
annual physicals and colonoscopies
before Dec. 31, it is time to refect
on the year that is ending. You will
identify who is on your naughty and
nice lists for gift-giving purposes,
and potentially—if you itemize
taxes—who will receive a monetary
gift (a tax deduction for you).
Te Memorial Health Center
Foundation could be (we’d like to be)
on your holiday list. We are a
Give a little, get a lot
501(c)(3) nonproft organization.
Your monetary gift will help
ensure that high-quality health
care remains strong and local.
We are very proud to say, “What
is raised here, stays here.”
And if you prefer, you can
designate your gift to beneft a
specifc health service, such as:
➜
Babies/birthing and delivery.
➜
Cancer care.
➜
Kidney care.
➜
Surgical care.
➜
Heart care.
➜
Emergency services.
➜
Senior
care services.
➜
Primary care/
family medicine.
➜
Rehabilitation/
therapy services.
Te donation that
makes you money
Another gift-giving option that
doesn’t cost you a dime is a Forward
Financial Bank Charitable Money
Market Account (CMMA). You gain
interest income on the deposits you
make; the bank donates an amount
based on a percentage of your
average balance to the charity of your
choice.
By choosing the Memorial Health
Center Foundation when you open a
CMMA with Forward Financial, you
gain the feel-good knowledge that you
are contributing to the improvement
of your community hospital—for the
betterment of your family—by helping
to ensure that high-quality health
care services are strong and local.
For more information regarding
a CMMA, contact any Forward
Financial Bank location in
Greenwood, Marshfeld, Stanley,
Torp, Withee or Medford.
To send a direct donation for the
improvement of health care services
in your community, write your
check to Memorial Health Center
Foundation and mail it to 135 S.
Gibson St., Medford, WI 54451.
