Summer vacation is almost over, and children are returning to school, but St. Joseph’s team of healthcare professionals are working as hard as ever to care for our community and make sure that the future is bright. We couldn’t do it without your support, which is why this August, we want to help you prepare for your own future!

August is National Make-a-Will Month. Everyone needs a legal will, but fewer than 30% of people have one because it can seem scary, complicated, or expensive. That’s why we’re working with FreeWill to give you the opportunity to write a free, legal will online. We’re challenging our supporters to take this step before the end of the month. Writing your will on FreeWill typically takes no more than 25 minutes and you can always go back to update it if things change. Already have a will? If it’s more than five years old, it’s important to go back and update your wishes.

FreeWill also offers an Advance Healthcare Directive tool so you can take the lead on important life decisions and save your family stressful guesswork later on.

We have a goal of adding five NEW members to the Seton Society. The Seton Society is comprised of donors who have named St. Joseph’s as a beneficiary of their estate. The gift can be for any amount; whatever you give is a powerful commitment to the future of our community and strength of our medical system.

Many of our friends here at St. Joseph’s have already taken advantage of these tools. Many have also chosen to include a gift to St. Joseph’s Health Foundation and other causes they care about in their wills as a way to magnify their own impact. (These gifts are a huge help TODAY, as we plan an ambitious future). But it’s free no matter what you choose and we’re thrilled to share it with you either way.

Thank you for all you do to build a brighter future for St. Joseph’s Health. We hope you accept this gift as a token of our appreciation and take this step in being prepared for the future!
