The 1875 Legacy Society


The 1875 Legacy Society recognizes with gratitude those who have created a lasting legacy of exceptional healthcare in the Merrimack Valley and Southern New Hampshire by including Lawrence General Hospital in their estate plans.

Like those who founded the hospital nearly 150 years ago, these extraordinary individuals and families ascribe to a vision of comprehensive and compassionate care, close to home.

This honorary society recognizes those who name the hospital as a beneficiary of a will, retirement plan, donor-advised fund, or life insurance policy.
