We are thankful for those who have made an estate gift to Ashland Community Health Foundation. Here are their stories.

If you have an IRA, you likely know about federally mandated required minimum distributions (RMDs). Among the options for putting those withdrawals to use, you may wish to consider using your RMD funds to donate directly to a qualified charitable organization. You can avoid paying tax on your RMD by simply using that money to contribute to your favorite charity or non-profit in the amount up to $100,000.

For over four decades, Diane Williams and her husband John Engelhardt have been dedicated supporters of ACHF. According to Diane, a retired pediatrician whose practice was across the street from Ashland Community Hospital, she remains indebted to the staff and facilities that the hospital provided to her patients.

The Legacy of Ruth T. Evans
