Honoring your physician, nurse, or other team member with a contribution to Addison Gilbert Hospital is a wonderful way to say thank you for the care you or a family member received.

You may wish to make a donation in honor of someone who made a difference to you. Your “Champion of Care” will receive an acknowledgment letter and a pin that designates him or her as a Champion of Care. This recognition of both their personal commitment and professional expertise is highly rewarding for our staff.

The greatest benefit of making a gift to the Champions of Care program is knowing that you are making a difference in the lives of others. Addison Gilbert Hospital is a nonprofit medical center. Your gifts enable us to attract highly qualified staff, buy vital new equipment, expand and refurbish medical facilities, fund physician and nursing education, offer patient education and support groups, and support essential hospital services.
