The Methodist Richardson Medical Center Foundation honored members of its Heritage Society at a luncheon on September 10, 2014. The luncheon, held at the Renaissance Hotel, was an opportunity for the foundation to thank members for their support of the hospital and to give them an update on programs that they have helped to fund. 

The Heritage Society was established in 1999 to offer donors the opportunity to create a personal legacy to benefit health care in North Texas. The society’s membership is composed of philanthropic individuals who have donated $25,000 or more through cumulative gifts, an estate, or through qualifying planned gifts.

In addition to a presentation by Methodist Richardson President E. Kenneth Hutchenrider, FACHE, about the recent opening of the new125-bed hospital at the Bush/Renner campus and plans for the facility at the Campbell campus, attendees were also given the opportunity to interact with staff from various departments throughout the hospital, including the Cancer Center, surgery, cardiology and the auxiliary program. 

This year’s program also included the induction of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Macy into the Heritage Society. The Macys are longtime supporters of the hospital. In addition to serving on the Methodist Richardson Medical Center Foundation Board of Directors, Mr. Macy also volunteers as a Chaplain.

Heritage Society members have donated more than $3,250,000 since the society was established.
