Your gift to Backus is a gift to the entire community...
At Backus, we rely on our donors to help chart the course of healthcare for eastern Connecticut. Last year — even as the national recession tightened its grip — donors helped keep healthcare moving forward. Our community provided $1.1 million in charitable gifts this past year. To generate those funds through hospital services would require additional revenues of $28 million, at a 4% operating margin.
We are always grateful for our donors’ support. Our benefactors make sure Backus stays on course.
WHY I SUPPORT BACKUS
Giving is my way of saying thank you to the hospital…it’s my way of giving back. If you can’t be a doctor, play a doctor by donating money to life-saving causes like breast cancer. I have three daughters, and this gives me a sense that I am doing something to help them, and the female population as a whole.
