Stewardship

Every contribution matters.

Each and every contribution is important as the Wood County Health Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, works to develop the Memory Health Life Center as a place for living, learning, and better dementia care beside the Quitman hospital.

The overall project cost is currently estimated at approximately $60 million, a preliminary figure that architectural planning will refine. A gift can also be a meaningful way to honor a loved one who has lived with dementia or Alzheimer's.

Ways to support

Honor a loved one. Build something lasting.

Gifts in memory, gifts in honor, and gifts from corporations, foundations, and trusts are deeply meaningful to our work, and each one helps advance the Memory Health Life Center for East Texas.
