Legacy Society

Meriter is especially grateful to individuals who have included the Hospital in their estate plans. Gifts such as these have been an instrumental source of support for capital projects, establishing educational initiatives and endowing programs.

We are pleased to recognize our Legacy Society members on an exclusive donor wall.
