Donor Designated Support

People give for a variety of reasons and often support those areas, such as cancer care, hospice or physical rehabilitation, that have touched them on a personal level. Our online giving form allows the donor to type in the Health System program or service, which they would like to receive their gift. If you would like further information about where your gift is most needed or how to designate a gift, please contact a member of the SJMHS Development Staff.
