Creating a Lasting Legacy
Since the founding of Doylestown Hospital in 1923 by the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown, planned gifts have been instrumental in our sustained success and continued growth. We are grateful to the hundreds of planned giving donors who have helped us to provide the highest quality of healthcare throughout our history, as well as to the current members of our Cornerstone Society for their future contributions.
By adding Doylestown Health to your estate plan through a variety of flexible, tax-advantaged options, you can continue to benefit from your assets now, knowing that your legacy gift will strengthen the health of our community for generations to come. Your gift to Doylestown Health can support the area of greatest need, or be designated for a specific service line or program that is important to you.
Our office is staffed with experienced gift planners who can help you and your financial advisers achieve your charitable goals. To learn more about planned giving opportunities, or to notify us that you have already included Doylestown Health in your estate plans, please contact Doylestown Health Foundation at 215.345.2009.

Planned Gifts Grow Our Endowments
Doylestown Health endeavors to build its permanent endowment to preserve its life-saving mission for generation to come. To support this important philanthropy priority, Doylestown Health Foundation allocates a portion of each realized planned gift to either its unrestricted endowment fund or a restricted endowment fund, as dictated by the donor. The remainder of the gift is used immediately based on its designation.
