Leave a Legacy

In 2021, our donors raised $8M (versus $4.4 last year) through planned giving in the Valley and Sutter Care at Home. These donors, who represent approximately half of what was raised in 2021, know that Sutter Health is a worthy organization for one’s legacy. You and your family can also be a part of the future of healthcare through thoughtful planning today.

 

For more information about planned giving, please contact Rebecca Thompson, Philanthropy Executive, Gift Planning, at (916) 934-9227 or Rebecca.Thompson2@sutterhealth.org. Thank you to these generous donors, who are a part of our Legacy Society as of December 31, 2021.

Patti Palamidessi's story

Opening Doors for Future Healthcare Professionals

A growing shortage of healthcare workers requires creative solutions to encourage more people to enter the field. Sutter Health provides scholarships to support and encourage disadvantaged youth to pursue careers in healthcare. In addition, Sutter offers its employees scholarships to continue to advance their healthcare training.

 

Learn more about scholarships available in the Valley area: the Charlotte Allison Nursing Scholarship in Tracy, the Hudlin Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund in Modesto and the Shelly McGriff Endowed Nursing Scholarship Fund in Sacramento.

Donor Survey Results for Annual Report

Earlier this year, we asked our generous donors to complete a survey that would help us better understand their perspectives and, hopefully, improve the donor experience as a result.

 

Thanks to those who were kind enough to fill out the survey, we have taken their responses and used them to celebrate our strengths as well as to identify actions for areas of improvement.
