Make a Lasting Impact: Gift Planning for the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital Foundation
Leave a gift in your Will
Including a charitable gift to the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital Foundation (PSFDHF) in your will is a simple yet meaningful way to ensure high-quality healthcare continues to be available in our community for generations to come. Your will is a reflection of your values and a powerful tool to create a legacy that makes a lasting difference.
Whether you’ve personally benefited from the care at Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (PSFDH) or wish to support others in their time of need, a gift of any size in your will can help. You can direct your contribution toward the purchase of vital medical equipment or choose to support a specific area of care that is meaningful to you.
