Patient Giving
University of Louisville physicians are among our region’s and nation’s finest. By seeing a UofL physician, you benefit from the latest medical advances, often long before they become available in non-academic settings.
But our doctors are more than terrific caregivers. For many patients, they also become a source of strength, hope and trust. Our physicians take the time to get to know their patients—and often become confidants and friends.
Show your appreciation
Interested in letting your UofL doctor, nurse or other health-care provider know how much they are appreciated? We invite you to make a gift in their honor.
Your gift will honor that special health-care provider and help the UofL School of Medicine advance discoveries and expand patient services.
Your “prescription for philanthropy” can be fulfilled several ways:
- You may donate to the clinical department you specify through the University of Louisville Foundation.
- You can create a lasting tribute with an endowment for research, for patient care or to help train new clinicians.
- You can name the UofL health science program of your choice in your will or estate plans.
You may make a gift a particular program or research area that interests you. Your gift will allow UofL to continue to provide the finest medical care to our patients, to maintain state-of-the-art technology, to further research cures and to sustain the best medical education for future physicians and researchers.
