Create a Healing Moment
Your gift sparks joy, healing, and restoration for our patients. Find your way to give
Knowing every patient’s life is sacred, we promise to improve the well-being of every patient in our care and our communities. To live up to this promise, Medical Center Health System combines your generosity with the art of caring. Because of you, we offer live-saving equipment, cutting-edge technology, and extraordinary collaboration to provide exception care for every patient, every day.
Other Ways to Express your Generosity
When you support Medical Center Health System through non-cash assets such as stocks, IRA distributions, or donor-advised funds, you inspire hope for a healthier tomorrow for our patients and families without taking money directly out of your bank account.

IRA Distribution
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a tax-efficient way for those 70 ½ or older to donate from their IRA, while also counting towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution.
If you are at least 59 ½ year old, you can take a distribution and then make a gift from your IRA without penalty. If you itemize your deductions, you can take a charitable deduction for the amount of your gift.
You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $100,000) per year from your IRA directly to Medical Center Health System Foundation without having to pay incomes taxes on the money.
For a gift from your IRA to be eligible for your current year tax return, it must be completed by December 31. Remember that it may take several business days to process after you submit the information.
*Always consult with your professional advisor and IRA trustee
