Lourdes Legacy Society was designed to highlight and honor those who have remained and those who will become major donors — people who realize the importance of providing not only care, but exceptional health care. The members of Lourdes Legacy Society invite you to continue the tradition of exceedingly high quality health care that is available to our community, our family and our friends. All donor levels are based on cumulative giving totals.
