 Planned Giving     (Back to top)

 The Society for Tomorrow at Waterbury Hospital  is comprised of loyal and deeply caring people who have provided for the hospital in their estate plans. Waterbury Hospital is grateful to this special group of donors for their foresight, generosity and unwavering commitment to the hospital and to wellness in Greater Waterbury.

Donors who wish to leave a legacy to Waterbury Hospital are invited to join the Society for tomorrow by making a planned gift.  Aside from the benefits of eliminating or reducing taxes, providing for family security, or perhaps receiving a guaranteed lifetime annual income stream, a planned gift also provides untold joys—especially to the donor, who is assured of supporting the healthcare needs of our community for untold years ahead.
