  Warren Hospital Foundation
  As a not-for-profit, community hospital, Warren Hospital welcomes contributions and donations in any amount. The Warren Hospital Foundation is a nonprofit, fund-raising subsidiary of the hospital which ensures that all contributions to the hospital are used for the purposes for which they were intended.
  
  There are many ways to donate to the hospital. You may want to make a single donation in your name or in the memory of a loved one. Checks may be made payable to the Warren Hospital Foundation Inc. and mailed to the hospital’s Development office.
  
  Another donation option is known as planned giving. This program allows donors to give assets to the Foundation in many ways, such as monetary gifts, gifts of real estate or securities, life insurance benefits, bequests, or life income arrangements.
  
  For more information, call the Foundation office at (908) 859-6789. Since the tax and economic benefits to the donor can be substantial and tax laws are complex, Foundation trustees suggest that donors contact their attorney and/or accountant for financial advice. Or, contact the Foundation’s adviser: Thomas M. Riddle, CPA, CFP, Valley National Advisers, 825 Belvidere Road, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865, or call (908) 454-1000.
