The 1875 Legacy Society
The 1875 Legacy Society recognizes with gratitude those who have created a lasting legacy of exceptional healthcare in the Merrimack Valley and Southern New Hampshire by including Merrimack Health in their estate plans.
Like those who founded the hospital 150 years ago, these extraordinary individuals and families ascribe to a vision of comprehensive and compassionate care, close to home.
This honorary society recognizes those who name the hospital as a beneficiary of a will, retirement plan, donor-advised fund, or life insurance policy. These visionary donors carry on a tradition of philanthropy that positively impacts the health and wellness of a vibrant and dynamic community… today and for generations to come.
If you have included Lawrence Hospital in your estate plans, please contact us at PG@merrimackhealth.org or 978-946-8121, so that we may welcome you to The 1875 Legacy Society. You may also choose to be recognized anonymously, if you wish.
