The Elkins Society
The Elkins Society recognizes individuals who make one of the deepest, most personal commitments to Abington Memorial Hospital through planned gifts. When including a charitable interest to the hospital in an estate plan, it means including Abington Memorial Hospital among those people and places you value most. Bequests, charitable trusts, naming AMHF as beneficiary of an IRA, charitable gift annuities and pooled income fund contributions are among the many gift vehicles that qualify as planned gifts.
The First Planned Gifts
On November 12, 1912, George W. Elkins, Sr. donated land on Old York Road in Abington to build Abington General Hospital. In February 1913, shortly after Stella McIntire Elkins passed away, Mr. Elkins contributed $100,000 in memory of his wife to build the first hospital building. The hospital was renamed Abington Memorial Hospital in her honor. Mr. Elkins later provided a generous bequest in his will, as one of his many planned gifts to the hospital. The tradition that Mr. Elkins established is honored through The Elkins Society.
