HONESDALE, PA — From its “humble beginning” in 1920, to the advanced technologies and specialized practices of today, Wayne Memorial Hospital and Wayne Memorial Health System thrive in communities that both support and benefit from the impressive evolvement of health care in our area, the hospital said in a recent press release.

Donations have had an extreme and lasting impact on the hospital, its patients, employees and community. That tradition continues with Wayne Memorial Health Foundation and, for the last 21 years, includes the Paul M. and Sandy Meagher Legacy Circle.

“As a giving opportunity it honors Paul and Sandy, two long-time friends of the Wayne Memorial family who have given selflessly of themselves to the hospital and the community, the press release reads. “The Meaghers, like so many of us, have benefited from having a hospital close to home and invite others to remember Wayne Memorial Health Foundation in their will or other deferred giving plan.”

Earlier this year the Meaghers participated in a tour at Wayne Memorial Hospital during an event for current and new potential members of the circle. Visitors explored several areas, including the Cardiac Catheterization Lab, the Da Vinci 5 surgical robot, and the newly developing Urology Center. They also participated in discussions with the medical providers on hand.

Another event is being planned. The hospital encourages prospective donors interested in joining the Legacy Circle to call 570/253-8274. No gift is too large or too small. As Wayne Memorial Hospital continues to grow, the Wayne Memorial Health Foundation will help ensure the community’s health needs are met today, tomorrow and for future generations.
