Make a Planned Gift

The many philanthropic friends who live and work in the communities served by Advocate Health Care share an important value—their commitment to the health and well-being of family, friends and neighbors. They also share a profound understanding of the powerful impact such a commitment has on our community, not only today, but also for future generations. Together, these friends have established a legacy of healing.

As you may know, the nation's tax laws provide incentives that encourage philanthropy because of the singular role charitable organizations, like our hospitals and programs, play in meeting the important needs of society. Many people are unaware of the many benefits that charitable financial planning can offer them in structuring a gift.

We will be glad to explain the specific financial benefits you can enjoy. For more information about joining the Amicus Society, please call Marilyn Schaffer, director of planned giving, at 847.384.3424. Or email Marilyn.Schaffer@advocatehealth.com.
