Ways to Give

The Miriam People Society celebrates donors who give a cumulative annual gift of $1000 or more between October 1 and September 30. It also celebrates The Miriam Founders whose cumulative giving over a lifetime is $25,000 or more. Miriam People Society members are honored each year at The Miriam People Dinner. Please call 401-793-2004 for more information.

The Grateful Patient Program at The Miriam Hospital provides an opportunity for you to say thank you in a special and meaningful way to the caregivers (doctors, nurses, hospital staff) who made a difference to you or your family during your time at The Miriam.

It may have been a lifesaving procedure or something as simple as a kind word or a smile that brought you or your family member comfort and you would like to show your thanks. Gifts from grateful patients support current programs and services, as well as invest in the future of medicine, research, and medical education.
