Legacy Guest recognizes
DONOR GENEROSITY
s a new way to thank Scott & White benefactors, the Scott
& White Healthcare Office of Development has created
Legacy Guest. This innovative program will provide
special benefits and personal attention by the Office of Development
to donors in appreciation for their generosity to Scott & White.
“Legacy Guests receive the same high quality care and treatment
that all of our patients receive,” says Susan Fergus, RN, Legacy Guest
program director. “But because of their continued support they are
extended some special services.”
Some of the services during a hospital stay include flowers in the
room, daily newspaper delivery and a get-well kit. Obstetric patients
may receive a baby bib, silver spoon or baby blanket. Legacy Guests
will receive help with admission if needed, and will have highest
priority for a VIP private room in the Center for Advanced Medicine
(CAM), if available. During their stay, participants also will be given
a pager number that gives them 24-hour access to an Office of
Development representative.
Two basic levels of participation are available and are
determined by the benefactor’s contribution. Benefactors who
have donated cumulative gifts of $10,000 or more will be lifetime
participants. Those who have donated cumulative annual gifts of
$1,000 or more will be annual participants.
Donors who have given the minimum amount are automatically
eligible for Legacy Guest. They will receive information packets in
the mail that will explain the program and its benefits, along with the
paperwork necessary to participate. Benefactors who wish to remain
anonymous can opt out of the program.
