Grateful Patient, Volunteer and Employee Designates Bryn Mawr Hospital as a Beneficiary of IRA

Having grown up and lived on the Main Line all her life, Kate Kittleman has many reasons to be grateful that Bryn Mawr Hospital has always been there when she or someone in her family needed care. From her first patient experience at age seven (tonsillectomy), to teenage years as a "Candy Striper," to her 10 years as a Hospital employee many decades later, Kate’s appreciation for this venerable institution has grown ever deeper. When the time came to create an estate plan, it seemed only natural for Kate to include a provision for Bryn Mawr Hospital. After all, she considers herself a proud "member of the family" and as such, leaving a legacy feels not merely fitting but personally satisfying.

Speaking of family, every member of Kate’s in some way owes his/her health or life to Bryn Mawr. Her brothers' school-aged sports injuries were regularly stitched up in the ED; her parents' end-of-life care was delivered expertly and compassionately by Bryn Mawr doctors and nurses; on more than one occasion her husband was brought back to health after a crisis. Kate is enjoying a full and active retirement thanks to bilateral total knee replacement performed at — where else? Bryn Mawr Hospital!

Kate wants to help make Bryn Mawr Hospital's exciting plans a reality by designating the Hospital as a beneficiary of her IRA, and encourages you to consider Bryn Mawr Hospital in your estate planning. It's a win-win!
