Commemorative Gifts
Our Commemorative Gift Program allows you to recognize and honor those caregivers whose love and kindness have touched you and also enables you to support patients and families faced with life threatening illness.
A gift to the Harris Hospice Unit, Hospice and Palliative Care or the Buddy Kemp Caring House is a meaningful alternative to sending flowers when a loved one or friend dies. Often a family wishes to recognize the care provided by the compassionate staff in each of these very specialized areas.
You may also invite others to make contributions in memory of your loved one. This notice normally appears with the obituary in your local paper using the suggested language below:
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Presbyterian Hospital Foundation to benefit the (state your area of interest) at Presbyterian Hospital. Please send your gift to Presbyterian Hospital Foundation, Post Office Box 33549, Charlotte, North Carolina 28233.
