From the Huntsville Hospital Foundation
Huntsville Hospital Foundation is honoured to announce that Chris and George Gilley, loyal hospital donors, have once again demonstrated their leadership and support.
Since 2004, Chris and George have played a significant role in shaping the future of healthcare for Huntsville and surrounding communities. Their commitment over the years has saved lives and improved patient care at Huntsville Hospital.
In their latest act of generosity, Chris and George surprised the Foundation with a generous gift by transferring securities to help acquire new medical equipment for Huntsville Hospital. While the specifics of the donation amount have been kept confidential at their request, the impact of their investment will be felt across multiple departments, including Emergency, ICU, and Surgery.
“We have been long time supporters of Huntsville Hospital because we recognize how important our hospital is for the community,” shares Chris. “We love our hospital, and it’s our responsibility to support it,” adds Chris.
When discussing their decision to give through securities, George explains, “we chose to give through securities because it is a benefit to us and the hospital. Donating appreciated securities, such as stocks or mutual funds, can help save on taxes, and it’s convenient. If it is an option for you, I encourage you to have a conversation with your financial advisor as it could offer tax advantages.”
Looking ahead, the Foundation is preparing for a historic campaign to build a new hospital. Chris and George are excited about this new chapter and passionate about continuing their legacy of investing in the needs of the hospital today and into the future.
“Sometimes the words ‘thank you’ don’t seem like enough,” says Katherine Craine, CEO of the Huntsville Hospital Foundation. “Chris and George are kind, caring, and incredibly generous. We are grateful that they are part of our hospital family. Their passion and dedication in supporting Huntsville Hospital is inspiring and we are grateful for their leadership and commitment to our mission.”
