“Great oaks from little acorns grow.” - Geoffrey Chaucer

If you have ever been to a Rex facility, you may have

seen caregivers wearing acorn pins on their lapels. These

pins come from patients and families grateful for the care

they received at Rex. Over the past year, well over 200 acorns

have been awarded to deserving Rex co-workers.

Recent acorn recipient, Robert S. Wehbie, M.D.,

Ph.D., F.A.C.P., oncologist with Rex Hematology Oncology

Associates,

encounters many

patients each day

looking for hope,

reassurance and

the very best care

available. “I think

it’s important for

physicians and

other health care

professionals to take

care of people the

same way we would

want to be taken

care of if we were

sick or our family

members were sick,”

Wehbie remarks.

“There is no question

in my mind, that if and when I or someone in my family

gets sick, Rex will be the first place we will go. I go to work

with that feeling and it makes me feel confident that we are

doing the best job for our patients.”

On behalf of a grateful patient, Kathy Stokes of the Rex Healthcare

Foundation presents Robert Wehbie, M.D., with a

special token of gratitude at the Rex Cancer Center of Wakefield.

Tiny hands, tiny feet, there’s someone new we’d like you to meet.

Rex Ann Simone7 lbs., 21 inches

This spring we welcomed our newest bundle of

joy! Rex Ann is an interactive newborn simulator,

designed by Laerdal with the American Academy of

Pediatrics to meet the training requirements of the

Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) course. Using

pre-programmed scenarios or real-time instructor

controls, Rex Ann can go from a moving, crying,

vigorous newborn to completely unresponsive.

Simulated learning enhances the educational

environment and provides an opportunity to practice

teamwork, leadership and communication skills. This

important training tool was made possible through

donations to the Rex Healthcare Foundation.

The Rex Society Appreciation Event provides the perfect opportunity to thank

those who make Rex so successful: our physicians, board members, co-workers,

volunteers and donors. Their reasons for supporting Rex are many. For some,

Rex has cared for them or their loved ones. Others may have a passion for

cancer care, or heart care, and want to see Rex further its work in these areas.

Some support our Magnet-designated nurses – the best nurses around. Rex has

been “the place to go for healthcare” in our community for 116 years. Over that

time Rex has continued to bring innovative care to our community. But what

sets Rex apart is its culture of kindness and compassion shown each day in the

halls of the hospital and at each of our locations. We are grateful to each Rex

Society Member for generously

investing in the life-saving work of

this hospital and impacting patient

care in such a profound way.

Figures cited in examples are for hypothetical purposes only and are subject to change. References to estate and income taxes apply to federal taxes only. State income/estate taxes or state law may impact your results.

You have worked hard to accumulate assets throughout your life, but without a valid will or trust at your death, those assets will be distributed according to state law. Wouldn’t you rather determine that yourself? Including a bequest in your will or trust to individual beneficiaries or a charitable organization such as ours may be the best way to make a meaningful gift in the future. Plus, it allows you to change your mind at any time.

Why Include a Bequest in Your Will or Trust?The reasons that donors make charitable bequests are generally as varied as the donors themselves, but perhaps one common denominator is a sincere desire to give back to the community or to a particular charitable organization. Other advantages include: It’s easy. Making a bequest is as simple as inserting a few sentences into your will, such as, "I give $10,000 to [name of charitable organization]." It’s revocable. With a bequest, you are not actually making a gift until your death. Until then, you are free to alter your plans, eliminating the worry that you might make a commitment you could later regret. It’s tax-smart. Your estate is entitled to an unlimited estate tax charitable deduction for bequests to qualified charitable organizations.

Eight Ways to Make a Bequest1. Specific bequest. This is a gift of a certain item to an individual beneficiary. “I give my

diamond ring to my niece Katie.”2. General bequest. This is usually a gift of a stated sum of money. “I give $15,000 to my

cousin Bobby.”3. Residuary bequest. This is a bequest of an estate after all other bequests, debts and

taxes have been paid. “I leave 15 percent of all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate to my son Chris.”

4. Contingent bequest. This is a bequest made on the condition that a certain event must occur before distribution to the beneficiary. “I give $20,000 to my daughter, Laura, provided she is living upon my death.”

The bequests mentioned above can apply in the case of gifts to individual heirs or charitable organizations. The following types below are special considerations that apply only to charitable bequests.

5. Unrestricted bequest. A gift like this—without conditions attached—allows the charitable organization to determine the wisest and most pressing need for the funds at the time of receipt. ”I, [name], of [city, state ZIP], give, devise and bequeath to [legal name of organization] [written amount] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”

6. Restricted bequest. This is a gift dedicated for a specific purpose or project. ”I, [name], of [city, state ZIP], give, devise and bequeath to [legal name of organization] [written amount] for its [project or purpose].”

7. Honorary or memorial bequest. This is a gift given ”in honor of” or ”in memory of” yourself, in your family's name or on behalf of someone else. ”I, [name], of [city, state ZIP], give, devise and bequeath to [legal name of organization] [written amount] in honor of [person's name], for [reason for gift].”

8. Endowed bequest. This bequest is invested with and becomes part of our endowment. An annual distribution is made for the purpose you designate. Because the principal remains intact the fund will generate support in perpetuity. ”I, [name], of [city, state ZIP], give, devise and bequeath to [legal name of organization] [written amount] as an endowment with a spending rate in accordance with the institution’s current policy.”
