The Legacy Society

The Pardee Hospital Foundation invites you to join our esteemed group of donors in The Legacy Society. Consisting of donors who establish a planned gift or bequest to the Pardee Hospital Foundation, The Legacy Society fulfills the mission of our hospital in offering the best healthcare to our Western North Carolina communities.

With a planned gift you not only reap considerable financial and tax benefits, but, more importantly, you ensure that your friends, family, and neighbors continue to receive critical, life-saving care. 

Every gift to the Foundation becomes part of a legacy tracing back 60 years to Pardee Hospital’s founding. Decades from now, your gift will demonstrate to others that our community truly cared about their local hospital.
