Consider The Possibilities

As a mission-driven hospital, founded by the Sisters of Charity of Montreal (Grey Nuns), we are dedicated to providing high quality compassionate care for those in need. Our ministry to the sick extends far beyond the physical needs of our patients. In all that we do, we seek to promote the health and well-being of those in our community through responsible stewardship, education and community service. Fostering the physical, psychological, spiritual and social well-being of our patients and all within our community is central to our mission.

Establishing a Tribute Fund

Step One
Oftentimes you may suggest to friends and relatives that a donation be made "in lieu of flowers or gifts." You may wish to specify a particular fund that would have special meaning for you or your loved one. All gifts will be restricted for that purpose unless otherwise restricted by the donor.

Step Two
Consider the following wording for the newspaper obituary notice:
"In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of (name of deceased) may be made to St. Joseph Hospital (Name specific Fund if you choose) in care of St. Joseph Hospital Resource Development, 172 Kinsley Street, PO BOX 2013, Nashua, NH 03061-2013."

Step Three
Attractive donation acknowledgement cards are available along with donation envelopes. Simply fill out the envelope with information necessary to establish a Tribute Fund — including the appropriate person(s) to be notified. Donors can give the acknowledgment card in place of or along with a traditional sympathy or congratulations card. Tribute cards are available throughout the hospital, in the gift shop at the main reception desk, spiritual care department, at local funeral homes and churches or by calling the Resource Development Office at 603.595.3051.

Step Four
Funds that reach the $500 level will be recognized on the Honor/Memorial Wall on the first floor (near elevators B). Those that reach the $1,000 level and beyond will be recognized on the Giving Tree in the Main Lobby by special recognition.

For tributes for special occasions, a similar note could be made on an invitation: "in lieu of gifts, please consider a donation to St. Joseph Hospital."
