Find Meaning, Live with Purpose, Leave a Legacy
Committing to a planned gift gave him a sense of purpose, as it was a way to honor both Sara’s legacy and the medical center. He feels blessed to be able to grow his commitment through his profession and ultimately help as many lives as possible through the Chaplain’s Crisis Fund and the Larry and Dorothy Stephens Cancer Care Fund. Howard is passionate about supporting pastoral care because it helps patients and their families in need regardless of their religion or beliefs. He is also passionate about helping oncology patients in financial need through the Stephens Fund, as he has seen first-hand how the fund directly impacts patients and their families. We remain grateful to those, like Mr. Taylor, who have considered the medical center as part of their planned giving. Find out how your legacy can be a part of something greater by contacting one of our gift officers in the Office of Philanthropy at plannedgiving@utmck.edu or 865-305-6611.
Planned Giving is critical to the future sustainability of philanthropic programs and initiatives at the medical center. Through planned giving you can maximize your ultimate wishes for all beneficiaries that are important to you, including charities.
Mr. Howard Taylor is a member of our Bernard E. Bernstein Society, comprised of individuals who have chosen to make a deferred gift to the medical center through a bequest, retirement plan or life insurance policy among various other vehicles for giving. Howard’s relationship with the medical center began in 1984 upon meeting his late wife, Sara.
Sara Taylor, CRNA
A lifelong employee of the medical center, Sara enjoyed her career as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist up until her passing in 2017. After Sara’s passing, Howard’s connection with the medical center grew even stronger, as the medical center was a legacy connection to Sara and her meaningful work. Sara’s passing also brought light to Howard’s future and led him to evaluate his financial plans.
