GIVING BACK

Giving from the Heart: How UofL Health Employees Make a Difference

At UofL Health, our employees are more than caregivers—they’re compassionate changemakers. Their dedication to patients extends beyond clinical care, as many choose to give back through philanthropy. This spirit of generosity not only strengthens our community but also enhances workplace pride and fulfillment. Research shows that employees who engage in giving are more satisfied in their roles.

Link Your Kroger Card

Kroger’s Community Rewards program makes fundraising easy by donating to local organizations, such as UofL Health, based on the shopping you do every day. Once you link your card to an organization, all you have to do is shop at Kroger and swipe your Shopper’s Card or enter in your linked phone number.

Explore Various Forms of Planned Gifts

Planned gifts can come in many forms, including real estate, personal property, life insurance, or cash. However, most donors tend to prefer three primary options: bequests, annuities, and trusts. More information.

Bequests are among the most popular planned gifts. This involves giving assets through the provisions of a will or estate plan. If you have already decided to include UofL Health in your will, please let us know by emailing us.
