Are you over 70?

Are you aware that the limit for qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) has increased? In 2024, individuals 70 ½ and older may make distributions up to $105,000 to organizations like the Boone Hospital Foundation. These distributions – or gifts, as we call them –may count toward your required minimum distribution for the year and are excluded from taxable income.

Also, this year, up to $53,000 can be given as a one-time gift using your charitable gift annuity or remainder trusts. Gifts can be designated to the fund of your choosing.

Please consider giving in this way to the Boone Hospital Foundation! For more information, contact Monica Collins at 573.815.2801 or monica.collins@boone.health

Boone Hospital Foundation Helps Support the Community Wellness Mobile Health Unit

The Boone Hospital Foundation supports patient healing, staff development, and community health. The Boone Health Community Wellness Mobile Health Unit was purchased by the Foundation in 2013 and travels throughout our 26-county service area providing health screens. Through 2024, the Community Wellness team anticipates performing over 250 skin cancer screenings, 351 A1c tests, and 350 blood pressure checks. Boone Community Wellness also provides education and information at public and contracted events. This year, 15,000 people will be seen by the nursing staff at various locations in the community.

Your gifts to the Foundation have helped offset some costs for Boone Health’s Community Wellness Initiatives. In addition to providing testing kits, the Foundation helps this effort by sending our Mobile Health Unit nurses to advanced training specific to community health.

With your support, we can grow this program and reach many more central Missouri residents who might not otherwise receive these health screenings or education. Thank you for helping us keep our community healthy!
