  • All items must be new. We cannot accepted used items.
  • Any items made of latex, including balloons, are not allowed in our hospitals.

Here is our wish of list of items that are needed most:

  • Gasoline gift cards
  • Gift cards to restaurants located close to our hospitals
  • Books

The 1881 Society

The 1881 Society honors the unending generosity of The Rev. John N. Norton, whose name Norton Healthcare carries, as well as the generosity of living individuals who include the Norton Healthcare Foundation in their estate and financial planning. If you’ve included the Norton Healthcare Foundation in your estate plans, notify the foundation to become a member of the 1881 Society.
