The Broadlawns Medical Center Foundation
Stories of Giving and Receiving

Why People Give

“When I give to the Broadlawns Medical Center Foundation, I know my support doesn’t disappear into a big budget.  Instead, I am able to see direct results.  It’s easy to make things happen and make things better at Broadlawns because the need is so great.  It’s an opportunity for my gift to make a real impact.”

- Jim Hubbell, III

"My brother was recently a patient at Broadlawns in the ICU. ...I experienced some of the finest personnel I have ever known in my life. Doctors, nurses, aids, staff...everyone. These were (and are) the most caring, giving, hard working and intelligent people I could possible have asked to take care of my brother.  I wouldn't have wanted him any other place, or under any one else's care. ...I can tell you [Broadlanws] that you represent one of the finest facilities and greatest people I know...

Because of the wonderful care that I saw my brother receive while at Broadlawns, I was moved to ask that anyone wanting to make a donation in his memory make a check out to Broadlawns. Enclosed you will find those checks. I truly wish it could be more. Please accept them on behalf of my brother, and please accept his thanks to you and all the personnel at Broadlawns for making his last days on this earth as painless as possible."

- Tim Marsden
