Bequests/Donations

People often express their appreciation for the care and support we provide, many ask if they can contribute to the health service in a meaningful and lasting way. Bass Coast Regional Health values in-memoriam donations, bequests and contributions.

In-Memoriam Donations : People sometimes choose to remember a loved one by making a donation to a charity/or service in lieu of flowers for funeral services.

Bequests : A bequest is a legacy gift left in your Will. A Will lets you decide how your Estate’s assets will be distributed after your death. Bequest gifts include: property, land, money, vehicles or shares.

Contributions : In-kind donations and contributions such as prizes, gifts, volunteerism and services are always appreciated.

Donations, bequests and contributions help us purchase equipment and items to help patients receive the highest level of quality care and comfort. Donations over $2.00 are tax deductible.
