Planning for a Bright Future
As a volunteer for Lee Health, Linda Brown has seen quite a few patients come through Golisano’s doors.
“Children come in not feeling well, but with excellent care combined with coping and support strategies that Child Life specialists provide, they forget about their situations,” Linda says. “Kids here have interacted with professional sports players, movie characters and even Santa Claus—all sharing the same goal of helping our patients feel better as they recover.”
Helping children is Linda’s passion. With a full resume of interesting jobs, Linda has realized firsthand the importance of being engaged in the community and giving back across the globe.
“I have seen the hope and healing that comes when children have access to proper healthcare,” Linda says. “As past Lee Health chair and now as a board member of Lee Community Healthcare, I have witnessed many come together to make the dream of a children’s hospital a reality. I want to see a solid future for our community.”
Linda decided to contribute through a planned gift. She made Golisano a beneficiary of her IRA. In addition, she continues to contribute to Lee Health through annual donations and volunteering with her mini-dachshund rescue, Shayna.
