Planned Giving - The 21st Century Society

Planned giving in particular will allow individual donors to make significant commitments to ensure and invest in the future of Rush North Shore Medical Center. Bequests, trusts, annuities, and other planned gift vehicles will enhance the Medical Center's long-term revenue base and will help build a foundation for future healthcare priorities. The 21st Century Society is an exciting philanthropic membership program that recognizes individuals who share a commitment to Rush North Shore, its mission, and all those it serves. We strongly advocate that you plan your estate with professional counsel in order to assure that all of your personal assets are properly designated for loved ones and causes of particular interest. For confidential inquiries on planned giving, contact Carolyn Scholz at 847-933-3625, or email her at cscholz@rsh.net.
