Paul Dudley White Legacy Society

Join our society of generous supporters who give through their wills, trusts or other type of planned gift

The Paul Dudley White Legacy Society honors generous donors who've included us in their wills, trusts or other type of estate plan. Dr. White was one of our founding members. As President Eisenhower’s personal cardiologist, he guided the president’s recovery from a heart attack. Dr. White’s vision of a world with better research, treatment and education for cardiovascular disease helped the association emerge as a world renowned leader.
