Meet Our Donors

Grant Hobson

This is why Trinitas is in our Wills!

"Without Trinitas, many would suffer agonizing pain and misery; many would indeed lose their ability to make a living and to provide for their families." Grant explained, "A large cosmopolitan City like Elizabeth and its surrounding areas need Trinitas to provide valuable healthcare for their diverse population." "Trinitas provides quality healthcare for all regardless of color, creed, religion or the ability to pay for health insurance. I truly believe giving to people in need is next to Godliness."

"I lost my father when I was 16." Grant now in his 80s, still thinks of his father often. "While he lived, my father was a kind and generous man who cared deeply for those less fortunate. Additionally, my father-in law was a well-known surgeon who had a very close affiliation with Trinitas. Through him I started to learn about the importance of the hospital to the community and I gained a similar respect for him as I had for my own father. Knowing first-hand the kindness and commitment that is shown to patients at Trinitas, the action of giving to the Medical Center resonates very strongly with the kindness and commitment that both my father and father-in-law showed in their lifetimes. It is no surprise that my wife, who grew up in Elizabeth, shares my sentiments and agrees that leaving Trinitas in our wills gives us the satisfaction of knowing that our fathers' traditions of kindness and giving will be honored in perpetuity. This brings a deep sense of contentment to our lives."

"My wife and I have no heirs so why not leave our legacy to an organization that we know will provide an invaluable ongoing benefit to mankind! Rather than let bureaucrats in the government, whom we have never met, whom we do not know and who are complete strangers to us, take charge of our estate!", Grant said with a chuckle. "I like knowing that when I am gone, the money that my wife and I earned over a lifetime of hard work will be put to good use for mankind by Trinitas!"

God first, the other fellow second, myself last is a motto that Grant discovered as a child. It struck him profoundly and he has tried to live by it ever since. He strongly encourages others as well to inquire into ways to leave Trinitas in their will. "For by giving to Trinitas," he says, "you are giving to the other fellow and thereby ultimately giving to God."
