"For over two decades, I've been a dedicated supporter of UR Medicine Home Care because I believe in and have a deep respect for its mission. Because the reimbursement system will never fully support their work and the demand for services will only grow, making a planned gift offers a substantial and lasting way to contribute. I’m committed to giving to assure the long-term viability of UR Medicine Home Care and I encourage anyone who may feel challenged to make a large contribution at this stage of their lives to consider a planned gift that will make a lasting impact."
