We’re grateful that you choose Endeavor Health for your care and that we’ve earned your confidence and support. You — and our partners like you — make a difference in what we do in every hospital, every specialized institute, every clinic, every day.
Since our founding year of 1891, generous individuals and families have extended their vision for community wellbeing by including the healthcare system’s medical areas, education, technology and infrastructure in their charitable will or trust gift commitments. Planned giving has fueled some of the most transformational gifts to Endeavor Health, sustaining its growth over the decades. The NorthShore Hospitals Foundation recognized and welcomed donors of estate commitments and other planned gift arrangements to The 1891 Society.
The Wellspring Society recognizes wisdom, abundance and sustainability
Endeavor Health has flourished well beyond its founding. And now, with guidance from several long-standing legacy honor society members, we’ve chosen a new name — The Wellspring Society — to reflect our donors’ roles in ensuring Endeavor Health thrives, from its founding to becoming Illinois’ third largest health system.
Our recognized legacy gift donors, often in lifelong relationships with Endeavor Health physicians and the NorthShore Hospitals Foundation, used gift planning strategies to express their personal values while advancing the Endeavor Health mission to help everyone in our communities be their best.
Making a lasting impact
The long-term impact of these forward-thinking gestures is immeasurable. Some recent notable medical initiatives include the Scott-Kudrna Fund for Advancing Orthopaedic Medicine, the Selma and Emanuel G. Carton Charitable Fund for neurology, the John L. Patten Charitable Trust for patient care, and the Jean Keitel Cryor Scholarship Fund for the Endeavor Health Nursing Professional Advancement Program (NPAP). Each gift helps shape a better future, ensuring each donor’s values endure.
All of us at the NorthShore Hospitals Foundation are eager to see what we can accomplish together in the years to come, and your generosity will sustain us. Future gift planning, like Mrs. Cryor’s ongoing support for nursing development or Mrs. Scott’s support for advancing orthopaedic medicine, helps create care traditions at Endeavor Health, realizing your hopes and vision for community health and wellbeing. By establishing a gift through your financial or estate plans, you ensure that Endeavor Health care teams, emergency vehicles, clinics, hospitals and specialized institutes continue providing compassionate, transformational experiences for patients and their families.
We truly appreciate your steadfast partnership. Our commitment to you is to keep Endeavor Health moving forward, true to its mission and dedicated to providing you and your family a healthcare experience of uncompromised excellence. You’ve played a vital role in this community, and we can’t thank you enough!
