It Costs Nothing Today
But Your Compassion Lives On
Your gift can last a lifetime and impact countless families.
The McConnell Legacy Society
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
— Matthew 25:40
The McConnell Legacy Society honors those who make a lasting impact through planned giving. Named in memory of our founder, Dr. Jack McConnell, this society ensures that compassionate, free medical care endures for generations.
By including the Volunteers in Medicine Hilton Head Island Clinic in your estate plans, you become a lifelong partner in health and hope—ensuring that no neighbor is left behind when it comes to access to quality medical care.
These gifts cost nothing today, but they ensure your compassion lives on.
Every life you touch tells a story. With a legacy gift to our Clinic, your story becomes one of enduring hope and healing—long after today.
When you include the Volunteers in Medicine Hilton Head Island Clinic in your estate plans, you ensure that patients in need—many of whom have nowhere else to turn—receive the quality medical care they deserve. It’s a powerful way to honor your values, care for your community, and become a permanent part of our mission.
Why It Matters
A legacy gift—also known as a planned gift—is a contribution arranged now that will benefit the Clinic in the future. It can take many forms, including:
- A gift in your will or trust
- Naming the Clinic as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life insurance
- Gifts of real estate, stocks, or other appreciated assets
These gifts cost nothing today, but they ensure your
compassion lives on.
Your Gift Can Last a Lifetime—and Impact Countless Neighbors In Need.
Whether your gift is modest or substantial, its impact is immeasurable. Planned giving through the McConnell Legacy Society is a powerful, flexible way to extend your care and values beyond your lifetime. Your legacy gift will:
- Provide ongoing care for uninsured and underserved individuals
- Sustain life-saving programs and medical outreach
- Empower future generations of healthcare heroes
- Make a lasting difference in a community you love
Simple. Meaningful. Impactful.
Making a legacy gift is easier than you think. Most gifts can be arranged with just a few sentences in your estate documents or a simple beneficiary form. You retain control of your assets for life, and you can adjust your plans at any time.
