The McCready Foundation's healthcare campus owes its existence to a single, generous gift – as detailed in "About Us" - from a woman whose husband and child died in car-train wreck north of Crisfield. Over the ensuing eight decades, the Edward W. McCready Memorial Hospital has grown, thrived and relied upon the kindness of others also inspired by Caroline Pitkin McCready's selfless philanthropic gesture.
The reasons people give to charitable organizations like McCready are many. Some donors want to express their gratitude after a hospital stay. Others recognize the critical role the hospital and its adjoining nursing home play in our waterfront community and want to ensure their future.
Occasionally, donors give to support a specific program -- such as rehabilitation services or the "Emergency Room," where urgent care is important and can save a life. Since 2006, many have contributed to a multi-million dollar campaign to build a new Alice B. Tawes Nursing & Rehabilitation Center for 100-plus elderly and disabled residents.
We also receive donations from people in honor or in memory of a relative or a friend. Some donors give because a charitable donation can also mean a tax deduction!
