Back in 1889, Elizabeth Hayne, alongside her husband and a physician friend, combined a modest sum of $40 to establish what has since evolved into the renowned Bethesda Health Group. In honor of Mrs. Hayne’s unwavering commitment to elderly care, the Bethesda Health Group Foundation created a giving society in 2023 for its faithful donors: the Elizabeth Hayne Society (EHS).
“Members of the Elizabeth Hayne Society are dedicated to the mission of providing all levels of exceptional care to the elderly regardless of their financial resources,” says Linda Sanders, Corporate Vice President and Director of Development. “Our members make annual cumulative gifts of $1,000 or more, helping to provide direct care to qualified Bethesda seniors who require home health, at-home services, hospice care or financial assistance to remain in their beloved Bethesda homes.”
The inaugural EHS luncheon was held in October of 2023 at the Piper Palm House, where close to 100 people gathered to hear Linda share a story about a resident who benefitted from their generosity. She explained how he wouldn’t have been able to afford to stay in his Bethesda apartment without their help and support.
