Jackie’s connection to St. Joe’s began more than 20 years ago as a member of the hospital team, where she witnessed firsthand the compassion and dedication behind extraordinary care. That bond deepened when her son, Philip, became a patient at St. Joe’s — an experience that left a lasting impression on their family.
Inspired by her gratitude, Jackie chose to include a gift in her Will, becoming a member of the St. Joe’s Society. Through her legacy gift, she is helping ensure future generations continue to receive the same kindness, respect, and exceptional care that meant so much to her family.
