Your Legacy Story Begins ... Now!

Your journey has led you to this moment, when all that you have built over a lifetime will impact those you care about tomorrow. We invite you to join hands with others who are making a lasting commitment to the health of our community. By naming the WMHS Foundation as the beneficiary of a planned gift, you can bless the patients
and caregivers of UPMC Western Maryland for years to come while enjoying the rewards of giving today. Our generous Legacy Society members have determined to leave a portion of their wealth to a department in the health system, such as Home Hospice, Cancer, Heart, or Patient Assistance. Come, join the WMHS Foundation Legacy Society, and designate your own life-saving gift.

Legacy Society Rewards

Personally touch others and help advance healthcare within your community for generations to come.

Name a room within UPMC Western Maryland, choosing a department or service line that most closely aligns with your interest or personal experience. Rooms are formally dedicated with an aluminum plaque, customized according to the donor’s wishes. Dedications may include staff, clinicians, or friends and family... or donors may prefer a more private and discreet setting. Your Legacy Story Can Begin... Now!

Belong to a special donor family, invited to private tours, dinners, educational events, and invitation-only gatherings.

Be the first to know, with insider communications not yet shared with the general public — updates regarding breakthrough treatments, new clinicians, and state-of-the-art equipment that are saving lives.

Receive a patient check-in card as a member of our Circles of Giving family, with the option to request a visit, pet therapy, or pastoral care during your hospital stay.

Enjoy recognition in our annual report, website, and social media. We fully
