Gifts in honor/memoriam

“I sometimes feel as though Yale-New Haven Hospital is the epicenter of my life. I was born there, my mother worked there after graduating from the Grace School of Nursing, other family members were treated there, and just for good measure, they gave me my life a second time after a near fatal accident when I was 24….”
– Erin Rowe, Cheshire, Connecticut

Gifts made “in memoriam” offer a lasting tribute to a loved one while providing family and friends satisfaction of knowing they have helped others.
