Ways to Give to SGMC Health Your Donation Matters
Thanks to your gifts and additional community support, the Foundation has been able to give thousands of dollars to our support patients, facilities, and even co-workers.

Honor a Caregiver or a Loved One
Through these giving programs you can honor a compassionate caregiver, celebrate a loved one’s journey, or remember someone special. Your gift is a meaningful way to recognize those who have touched your life while helping ensure exceptional care for patients and families now and in the future.
Are you a grateful patient or family member? Honor the doctor, nurse, or caregiver who made a difference with a gift through our Grateful Patient/Family Program. Your generosity will share your gratitude with them directly—and help other patients and families receive the same exceptional care. The caregiver will receive your note of gratitude along with a pin to wear recognizing your appreciation.
A tribute gift is a meaningful way to celebrate a new life, honor someone special, or remember a loved one. Your generosity supports SGMC Health, ensuring exceptional care for families across South Georgia. Donations may be directed to the Area of Greatest Need or a program close to your heart. The honoree or their family will be notified of your gift, while the amount remains confidential.
Honor a Caregiver
Are you a Grateful Patient? We would love to hear about how the SGMC Foundation has impacted your life.
You can recognize a physician, nurse or other care provider who made a difference for you or a loved one through our Grateful Patient program. When you honor a care provider who took remarkable care of you, they receive a card with your special message and a custom-crafted pin to wear proudly each day. The amount of your gift will not be shared.
Gifts received from grateful patients make it possible for us to provide state-of-the-art technology so that our doctors and nurses can continue providing the best possible care for patients.

Leave a Legacy with a Planned Gift to SGMC Health
You can extend your support to SGMC by making a planned gift. Planned gifts include bequests, charitable trusts and annuities, and life insurance gifts. We always welcome the opportunity to discuss with donors the many options available for maximizing their philanthropic impact at SGMC, including ways to include SGMC in estate plans. When you include the SGMC Foundation in your estate plan, your generosity makes exceptional health care more accessible in the communities that we serve.
If you or a family member have made provisions for a gift to the SGMC Foundation within your estate plans, we would love to celebrate you now as a member of our Legacy Giving Society, the Heritage Circle.

Other Ways to Support SGMC Health

Community Partners are generous, visionary companies that have chosen to invest a minimum of $5,000 or more annually in the South Georgia Health System and improve the lives of the patients we serve. Their commitment to our community, hospitals and patients is deeply appreciated. These generous partners truly share in SGMC’s vision for the future of health care in South Georgia.

Our employee giving program is more than just a charitable donation, it’s another way that members of the SGMC community choose to demonstrate human kindness through their philanthropic support. Philanthropy is a vital part of any hospital’s healing mission, and employees play an important role in that mission.

The Georgia HEART Rural Hospital Tax Credit allows you to contribute your annual state tax payment directly to SGMC Health Berrien or SGMC Health Lanier. These funds are vital for continued growth at these two rural hospitals. It's a unique opportunity to support our health system, while paying your normal tax obligation.
