Your Impact

With an investment of $40, and a compassionate and generous vision of a home devoted to caring for elderly women, Elizabeth and Roger Hayne, along with their friend Dr. Edward Saunders, created in 1889 what has expanded into today’s Bethesda Health Group.

Even though the world has changed dramatically since then, each of us still has the power to impact the lives of individuals as they age. Through your tax-deductible gift to the Bethesda Health Group Foundation, you not only help us maintain the excellence of our services, but you ensure that our residents, even those who outlive their ability to pay, can continue to call Bethesda home for as long as they desire.
