I shall pass this way but once, any good that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me not defer nor neglect it for I shall not pass this way again. – Emerson
Each year the Foundation supports specific priority equipment needs for the hospital for those items not included in the hospital’s annual budget. This Foundation, like other community charity organizations across Canada, believes it is imperative that we support this hospital with capital funding to insure the highest level of care continues to be delivered. Your contribution therefore is a vital part of fulfilling successful healthcare outcomes. The hospital is the one community facility that serves each one of us at some time in our lives. It is reassuring to know we can expect exceptional care for each one of us in that time of need. The 24 million dollar hospital expansion is another demonstration of just how important it is to have this level of commitment for health care to the Shuswap Community.

CHECKLIST FOR GIVING
Philanthropic giving can generate significant satisfaction and be a very enjoyable experience. The checklist below is intended as a guide for you to ensure that this gifting experience remains fulfilling for you in your decision to support the Shuswap Hospital Foundation.
- My gift will enhance health care in my community. Believing in the cause you support is key to enhanced gift-giving satisfaction.
- I have selected the best way to make my gift. Lifetime gifts (such as securities) have certain appeal, while deferred gifts (through life insurance, bequests, or trusts as examples) can be more practical and beneficial.
- This gift will not endanger my financial security. Large charitable gifts are great both for you, the donor and the foundation as recipient, provided due consideration has been given to your own needs, those of your family and other commitments first.
- I understand the tax benefits of my gift. A “tax-wise” gift may enable you to boost the amount of your gift – benefiting both yourself and the foundation.
- I have received counsel from a competent advisor. The larger the gift, the more important wise, qualified professional counsel is, when making a major gifting decision. both yourself and the foundation.
- I have spoken with the Shuswap Hospital Foundation about my planned gifting at their office at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, 601 10 St NE, Salmon Arm, BC or by phone at 250-803-4546.
