Gifts That Endure Blessed
Make your mark on
the future of medicine.
Medicine is changing. The healthcare
landscape your great-grandchildren
encounter will look very different from
what we see now.
If you get excited about Healthnetwork’s
mission to make medicine better for future
generations, we invite you to consider
including a gift in your estate plans to
Healthnetwork Foundation. Some of the
ways you can do this are:
1. Include a gift to Healthnetwork in your
will or trust. This can be a set dollar
amount or a percentage of the remainder
after other obligations are met.
2. Make us a beneficiary on a retirement
account or life insurance policy. This
type of gift can help your heirs avoid
excess taxes on these accounts.
3. Consider setting up a charitable gift
annuity, remainder trust or lead trust,
or gifting real estate. Healthnetwork
partners with the Cleveland Foundation
for these and other more complex
charitable estate giving options.
Our nonprofit status means that all
contributions are tax deductible to the
fullest extent allowed by U.S. tax law.
We are happy to work with your advisors
to structure a gift that makes sense
tax-wise and, most importantly, is deeply
meaningful for you.

BY BILL MILLER
Healthnetwork Foundation GOLD
and Family Legacy Supporter
n 2010 I was part of a Vistage
I leadership group of CEOs and
someone from Healthnetwork
came to our group to give a
short presentation. I learned Healthnetwork
identifies great doctors and supports
activities around their work for the greater
good. Better doctors and healthcare
facilities get funding, good things happen,
and the whole world’s health improves.
I looked at that as a win-win snowballing
type arrangement. At the same time I
know that if I ever have some kind of
critical or weird symptom, I have access to
many excellent facilities and doctors. All
that was very attractive to me. I signed
up right away.
Amanda Bise is my primary contact at
Healthnetwork. She’s always responsive,
and she does great follow up. The first
thing I did after signing up with
Healthnetwork was take advantage of the
executive physical program. At that point
I was almost 60 and starting to become
aware that I could do a better job taking
care of my health. I work hard and play
hard, and I want to keep it that way as long
as possible. I had my first executive
physical in 2011 and it was non-memorable
because there were no surprises, no “aha”
moments—just the kind of report you want
to get from your doctor.
I’ve been very blessed in my life
physically, mentally, and financially. I have
been blessed with good heredity and
environment. I’ve worked extremely hard
in a business I love, but I also had some
good fortune. I don’t feel like I deserve
all that’s happened—so it makes me
think, What can I do to help others? How
do I give back?
Since selling his company in 2022, Bill Miller and his wife
Lorna are transitioning to full-time life in Naples, Florida.
Giving to Healthnetwork is the best use
of my money. My family will be well provided
for, but I want to give to the greater good.
And the more you give away to charity, the
less taxes you pay—all good!

include gifts to Healthnetwork in our
yearly giving and estate plans.
It was an easy decision to include gifts to
Healthnetwork in our yearly giving and
estate plans. My wife Lorna and I are happy
to continue giving. We also give to a number
of other charities. The two I’m most excited
about are Healthnetwork Foundation and
the James Cancer Center, both located in Ohio.
Our thing is supporting the best doctors doing
treatment, providing care, and research and
then to leverage their expertise. This is how
we give back. ✦
At Your Service: Amanda Bise
“Over the past seven years, our Cincinnati
members have become like family to me!
Getting to know them and assisting their
loved ones is more of a lifestyle for me now,
instead of a job. Bill is no exception—
helping him and his loved ones has truly
been a blessing. Bill is one of the most
generous, caring, family-oriented people
I have ever met. His love to ensure his
family is taken care of and his commitment
to giving back to improve medical care
for others is reflected in all that he does.
I love connecting with Bill to not only
help where I am needed, but also to catch
up on life and family. I look forward to
conversations like that each day!”
