Grateful Patient Program

Patients who receive excellent care often ask how they can thank their caregivers. If you are a grateful patient, perhaps you have someone in mind that would appreciate recognition from you. A gift to the Foundation honoring a caregiver is among the most sincere tributes someone can make. Whether you are grateful to a physician for restored health, a special nurse or medical team for exceptional care, or a patient advocate who held your hand until your loved ones arrived, a gift in their name will provide valuable support to the programs, equipment and technology that allow IRMC to maintain the highest level of healthcare for our community.

Click Here to make a gift today honoring a caregiver. Please remember to use the comments section of the online donation form to provide an explanation for your gift and to add any personal words of appreciation you would like the Foundation to pass on to the caregiver in your behalf. Your thoughtfulness will make a lasting impression on the person you are honoring and the many IRMC patients who will benefit from your generosity.


Honor/Memorials

Gifts honoring relatives, friends or associates are among the most sincere tributes one can give. They are given in many ways:

  • in memory of a loved one
  • as a get-well wish to an ill friend or family member
  • to celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday, an anniversary, a promotion or a holiday
  • in lieu of cards, flowers or gifts at the request of a family in memory of a loved one who recently passed

Honor/Memorial gifts are used to fund capital improvements where they are needed the most – for advanced technology, innovative new programs and state-of-the-art facilities needed to meet the healthcare needs of our community.

The Foundation gladly sends gift acknowledgments on behalf of the donors to the individuals being honored and the families of loved ones being remembered.
