Memorials and Tributes
Thoughtful gifts in memory or honor of someone dear to you offer a meaningful way to show you care and help Backus provide the best care and life-saving resources to our community.
Your gift to the Backus Office of Philanthropy and Development will be greatly appreciated by those touched by your generosity and will far outlive flowers and greeting cards.
In Lieu of Flowers
Memorial Gifts provide a way for friends and family members to express sympathy and offer consolation to the family, while honoring the life and memory of their loved one.
Sample language for notices:
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Backus Hospital, c/o Backus Hospital Development Office, 326 Washington Street, Norwich, CT 06360
Honor a Special Occasion
Tribute Gifts are made in honor of a friend or loved one, often to mark an important occasion like the birth of a child, birthday, anniversary, graduation or retirement. The Backus Office of Philanthropy and Development shares these celebratory wishes with those honored, and their names are recognized in the hospital’s Annual Report.
What better way to mark a special occasion or event than to give to the gift of health in the name of a loved one?

Recognize a Care Giver
Recognizing Care Givers through a tribute gift is a wonderful opportunity for grateful patients and families to express their appreciation for the outstanding care provided by a physician, nurse or other member of the Backus team. The Backus Office of Philanthropy and Development acknowledges these expressions of appreciation to those honored.
