The Joseph H. Harris Legacy Circle: A heartfelt way of thanking you for planning ahead

We celebrate people who’ve included a gift to Michael Garron Hospital in their will by inviting them to join our Joseph H. Harris Legacy Circle.

When you plan a future gift to Michael Garron Hospital, you further the generosity that began over a hundred years ago, when Joseph Henry Harris inspired his fellow East Torontonians to create a community hospital.

When you let us know about the gift you’ve planned, you are welcomed as part of the Joseph H. Harris Legacy Circle. This group of caring people share a strong commitment to our community and have chosen to provide future gifts to Michael Garron Hospital.

As a Legacy Circle member, you’ll enjoy special benefits:

• Invitations to events and an annual luncheon
• Special mailings, including our annual report
• Recognition on a group plaque in the hospital, naming you or a loved one (or anonymity if you prefer)

Sharing your plans for a future gift with us

If you’re ready to share your plans for future gift with us and join the Joseph H. Harris Legacy Circle, please complete our confidential Will acknowledgment form. It gives us the opportunity to thank you personally for your commitment.  

If you wish to keep your plans private

If you prefer to keep your future giving plans private, we respect your wishes. Please know that you have our gratitude. 

If you change your mind and want to tell us about the gift you have planned, please contact us by phone or email. We’re always happy to hear from you.

To show our thanks, you are invited to visit the garden on the Michael MacMillan & Cathy Spoel Terrace, located on the fourth floor of our hospital. A special plaque has been placed there to celebrate people whose future estate gifts will support our community for generations to come.
