Adventist Health Glendale | Healthline Quarterly | Early Spring 2018

NewWeb site offers guidance on estate planning A new online service of the Adventist Health Glendale Foundation is available to individuals and families considering options for planned giving and estate planning. The Web site ah.giftlegacy.com is an excellent resource to learn the fundamentals of estate planning, from bequests to chari- table gift options. You can also receive a comprehensive estate plan- ning guide. “Each family is unique, which is why it is important to create a plan tailored to your family’s needs and desires,” says Irene Bourdon, foun- dation president. “You can learn from the Web site in reader-friendly terms what can easily be accomplished, so you can actually begin de- veloping your estate plan immediately.” Planned gifts may provide you with tax and income benefits, while helping your charity of choice further its mission to the community. Some of the many benefits available through planned giving include in- creasing your lifetime income, receiving charitable tax deductions and bypassing capital gains taxes. Added feature: e-newsletter The foundation also offers a quarterly e-newsletter for donors and friends of Adventist Health Glendale and the foundation—at no cost or obligation. In addition to providing helpful information on estate planning, the newsletter contains the latest financial news from Washington, D.C., such as updated information on new federal income tax regulations, plus practical hints and timely articles of interest. “We invite you to try this e-newsletter and let us know if it’s helpful to you,” Bourdon says. To sign up, go to ah.giftlegacy.com and click on the e-newsletter box. To contact the Foundation, please call (818) 409-8055 and ask for Irene Bourdon. 4 HOSPITAL NEWS Adventist Health Glendale is proud to introduce a new physi- cian.
