Planned gifts to Princeton Medical Center

Overview

Giving with Gratitude

John and Patty Chisano with their grandson Zachary

Two of our generous supporters, Patty and John Chisano, have added our organization to their estate plan in recognition of the excellent service they’ve received from our physicians. We’re honored to share their thoughts:

Princeton Medical Center is a place we feel safe with regard to healthcare.

It began with Dr. Anne Swedlund, and I can still remember the day I visited with her in the old hospital on Witherspoon. I searched endlessly for a person with extensive gastrointestinal knowledge who could monitor me as I aged. Winning the battle against Wilms tumor at 3 years old in the 1950s and having extensive radiation therapy has left me with health problems that now require physicians who may have to think outside the box.

[The right physician must] be extremely caring [and have] an understanding of what my body has been through and what I could possibly face in the future. The doctors have to be smart and on top of their game. Dr. Swedlund was that person. She swept up all my notes that day [of my first visit] and has monitored my care since. She cares for my husband now too and has been instrumental in ensuring that he receives the care he needs.

The thing about Dr. Swedlund is, I believe she is this dedicated to all those she provides care to. She is just one of many physicians to list who provide a quality of life for John and me as well as our family. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. Thank you for caring for us like we were a part of your family. This is why we give to Princeton Medical Center Foundation every year, and it is why we have decided to give through our estate plans.
