A gift is a meaningful way to convey sympathy to the bereaved, memorialize a loved one, commemorate a special occasion, or honor someone. In acknowledgement of your gift, a note is sent to the individual being honored - or the family of those memorialized - informing them of the gift and identity of the donor. The amount of the gift is kept confidential. You will receive an acknowledgement for your gift for tax purposes.

If you would like to list Loyola University Medical Center as a designated charity in a loved one's obituary, we offer the following suggested language: 

• In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that you make a donation in the memory of (Name of Loved One) to (name of department, program, program, or fund) at Loyola University Medical Center, 2160 S First Ave, Maywood, IL 60153.

Contact Denise Buchta, gift coordinator, dbuchta@lumc.edu, (888) LUHS-888 and ask for extension 6-3598, if you are interested in this type of gift.
