Welcome to Our Legacy Society
The Annual Luncheon is just one of the ways members are recognized for their past, present and future support.
Membership Overview
We are honored that many people choose to create a lasting philanthropic legacy by naming Saint John's Health Center Foundation as a charitable beneficiary in their estate plans.
Legacy gifts are reflections of a donor's commitment to our world-class medicine, compassionate care and life-saving research. We recognize the generosity of our visionary supporters by welcoming them as members of our legacy society.
Examples of Legacy Gifts Include:
- A bequest in a will or living trust
- Income-producing gifts such as charitable gift annuities or charitable remainder trusts
- Designating the Foundation as a remainder beneficiary of an annuity, IRA, or life insurance policy
- Arrangements that blend outright and planned gifts

The Legacy Giving Intention form provides us with insight about your vision for the use of your legacy gift. We know that circumstances sometimes change. By reviewing and updating the enclosed form you enable us to best understand your intent. The form is informational only, and does not represent a binding commitment on your part.
The Legacy Society donor wall at the Health Center will soon be enhanced and updated.
This provides an opportunity for you to update us about your intentions or to make changes in the way your legacy participation is publicly acknowledged. Please use this form to confirm or correct information about your acknowledgement as a legacy donor.
Gifts can be either unrestricted or designated for use in a specific program. If you would like further information about designated gifts (including specific wording to be used in legal documents), please contact Andy Trilling at the Foundation (310) 449-5246.
A gift to the future of healthcare is an act of generosity and compassion. It reflects a life that embraces a commitment to community and others, and it creates a legacy that cannot be matched in any other way.
Thank you for your support, your trust in our stewardship, and your care and concern for others.
