Ensuring That Care Will Always Be Near

Thomas Kroetch and Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland go back a long way. In the 1970s, Tom was a member of the Hospital Foundation’s Board of Trustees and helped raise funds for what was then the hospital’s “new” wing. Tom’s support of excellence in pediatric care will continue on into the future, through several charitable gift annuities that he established to benefit the hospital.

“Through the years I’ve been very impressed by the level of dedication, skill, and selflessness found at Children’s,” says Tom. “The loving, compassionate treatment and the high degree of technical skill of the doctors and nurses are amazing!”

Tom’s charitable gifts will allow him to make a substantial gift to help ensure that Children’s Hospital will always be there for every Bay Area child who needs special skills that can only be found in a hospital just for kids. At the same time, he can provide for his retirement with guaranteed annual payments for the rest of his life.
