Dear Friend:
This is the only annual appeal made on behalf of Kent and
Queen Anne’s Hospital. How grateful we are for the generous
response of the community to our first independent fundraising
appeal! Last year’s letter brought contributions of over
$24,000.00 from Friends both old and new.
Your concern and interest, expressed in your contribution,
truly make the difference in our ability to provide the
highest quality care. Small hospitals, particularly in
rural areas, face a special challenge to provide the same
expensive equipment as larger ones but have fewer patients
to share in the cost.
Your contribution to Kent and Queen Anne’s Hospital is an
Investment in your health and wellbeing. When you give to us,
you are providing yourself and your community with the best
in medical care. Each improvement in equipment and services
at your local hospital gives you added security against
future needs.
Please sit down now and write a check for whatever amount
you can. Remember, your contributions are tax-deductible.
We are glad to count you among our special Friends.
Most sincerely,
Benjamin Gale
