 Most people, if given the opportunity, would love the chance to make this a better world. Sometimes they do that through work, their communities, or through their families. Mid-Michigan Health has been privileged to be the recipient of families and individuals who have chosen to give a planned gift. Through that planned gift, amazing care has been delivered. Right now we'd like to share with you a story of one of those families that have given so generously to the work that we do here at Mid-Michigan Health. My uncle Bernard and Aunt Melissa were active, lifelong residents of Midland. But as their long and productive lives became more difficult in later years, their appreciation for those in the medical profession became the focal point of their interest. They had no children, but as they experienced more frequent health problems, it was those who took care of them that became like family. It grew into a sincere desire to recognize the contributions of all caregivers and to help those who have the passion to make caring for others their life's work. Upon their passing, a bequest was made to Mid-Michigan to create an endowment fund to administer as a student scholarship program for those area individuals interested in pursuing a health-related profession. I am pleased to share that almost $2 million has been granted by the Bailey Family Fund to assist more than 1,100 area students since it began offering scholarships in 2005. One such student was Katie Calloff. Nursing has been my lifelong dream. The Bailey Scholarship has given me the opportunity to receive an excellent education and bring it back to the community I grew up in and love. Katie is just one of more than a thousand students whose passion to serve others has benefited from the foresight and generosity of Bernard and Melissa and Bailey's planned gift. You too can make a difference in someone's life. We have developed a pamphlet that describes the various methods of this type of giving that may also have a positive tax advantage to you. This pamphlet is available on our website at www.MidMichigan.org. We invite you to review this information with your financial advisor. Together we hope we can help you realize how your donation will enhance the present and future lives of those served by the Michigan Health.
