When you ask yourself, "Why should I give?" there are many answers. However they all boil down to two questions, "What do I value?" and "What am I concerned about in the world that I would like to make better?"

From a health perspective, let's say that you care about aging. Since you or others in your family or circle of friends are getting older, you are concerned about the quality of life as you begin to experience the impact of chronic illnesses. Possibly, your interest lies in making sure that the latest in diagnostic services is available here in Brevard County, because your parents had to travel to Orlando or Gainesville for the best technology. Maybe your spouse needed open heart surgery and it was important to you to have great heart surgeons in town. Or perhaps you are a breast cancer survivor and you believe that digital mammography saved your life. These are all reasons to give – from the heart.

Our world would be a better place if each of us made a meaningful contribution to it. Philanthropy and volunteerism become natural options to fulfill these contributions. And, of course, health care is intertwined among many values and causes. Health care offers so many opportunities to see firsthand the impact of your involvement.
