Life insurance can be a tool with many purposes. It is used as a means of financial protection for your family in the event something happens to you or your spouse. But what about when your needs change; how can you use those life insurance policies to work for you? Donating it to a charitable cause is one way to get the most out of your life insurance!

Three ways to arrange this gift:

1. Give an Existing Policy: Nominating our organization as the policy owner will allow you to receive an immediate income tax charitable deduction for the lower of the policy’s fair market value or your cost basis.

2. Retain Ownership of an Existing Policy with a Revocable Gift: You can keep ownership of your policy for your own financial security and that of others, while still benefiting our organization at a future date.

3. Create a New Policy for Future Gifts: A new policy can be entered into with our organization as the beneficiary.

Please allow us the opportunity to maximize your life through our work. We are happy to answer any of your questions regarding charitable giving. Feel free to call us at no obligation.

Hannibal Regional Medical Group will be able to use these funds to develop the provision of specialty services in its designated rural health clinics in Canton, Monroe City and Shelbina.

“Hannibal Regional Hospital has been providing primary care services to the communities of Canton, Monroe City and Shelbina for the past eighteen years. With the formation of Hannibal Regional Medical Group in 2007, in addition to primary care, our organization has been able to continue to meet the community’s need for healthcare services by recruiting specialty physicians to Hannibal,” stated John C. Grossmeier, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hannibal Regional Hospital. “The grant funds from the Missouri Foundation for Health will assist us in the expansion of specialty physician practices and offer more convenient care to patients seeking services at these rural health clinics.”

All three locations will be providing the specialty services of Cardiology, Allergy/Immunology, Podiatry and Mental Health. In addition, the Monroe City location will have the capabilities to provide Optometry services with the expansion of the Vision Institute to that location. Hannibal Regional Medical Group will introduce these new services to the rural communities by July 2010.

Wendy Harrington, President – Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation commented, “Hannibal Regional Hospital realizes the strain that travel can sometimes put on patients and their families. We would like to thank Missouri Foundation for Health for partnering with us to provide valuable healthcare services for our patients and families in these rural communities.”
