One of the most prominent ways that we honor donors is through our recognition
societies and clubs. Individuals and businesses that give $1,000 or more in a
calendar year are named in donor displays in our hospital lobbies. Cumulative
gifts of $10,000 or more are also inscribed in our donor displays as well as
members of the Legacy Society. Donors of $100+ are listed in our annual report
of giving. Other donors at lower annual levels of giving are thanked
individually throughout the year for their gifts. The Foundation's recognition
societies and clubs are listed as follows:

Annual Giving Recognition
Through the years, Wuesthoff Health System has grown because our community
recognized and supported a higher standard of healthcare. We honor those who
share the same vision and generosity as our founders.
Society of 1941 members and our generous Corporate Partners support our
healthcare system's medical outreach through annual gifts of $1,000 or more.
Donors at this level are recognized annually at a special event hosted in their
honor.
Individual annual giving is recognized through the Society of 1941 at the
Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels. Businesses and organizations are recognized at
the same levels through our Corporate Partners society.
