Memorials & Honoraria
Many people choose to direct end of life memorials to the NSHCF as a celebration of their life or as a way to ensure health care resources and healthy living programs can continue. Some individuals also like to celebrate a special person or special occasion with a donation to the Foundation. We couldn’t be more grateful to all who support us in this way.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement
The North Shore Health Care Foundation (NSHCF) strives to act inclusively in all that it does. The NSHCF recognizes the diversity of human differences, and values the inherent worth of all people. NSHCF does its work with compassion and inclusivity by creating healthy communities with partners and in the conduct of its business internally. The NSHCF recognizes that health and well-being are directly connected to honoring the truth and wholeness of each person. Toward that end it strives to respect and support diverse identities in the communities it serves.

The NSHCF ask all partners and grantees to honor these values in our work together.
