August is National Make a Will Month

At CommonSpirit Health Foundation, we believe that humankindness means advancing care for the whole person. That care extends far beyond the walls of the hospital, including helping our donors, employees, and communities plan for the future.

August is National Make-A-Will Month, but 71% of Americans don’t have a will or trust, leaving many families unprotected in the event of the unexpected. Probate alone can take 9 to 18 months and cost up to 10% of an estate’s value.

For many busy Americans, this yearly reminder is just the motivation they need to finally sit down and create their last will and testament.

That’s why CommonSpirit Health Foundation is proud to offer a new, free resource through our partnership with FreeWill. This secure online tool allows you to create or update your will at no cost—giving you peace of mind and confidence in your plans for tomorrow.

Having a will ensures that your priorities are honored, your loved ones are cared for, and your future is planned with confidence. Whether you’re creating a will for the first time or updating an existing one, this tool makes the process easy and accessible.

We are honored to share this resource with our larger CommonSpirit Health Foundation community as part of our ongoing commitment to serving the whole person — body, mind and spirit.

We’re grateful to walk alongside you as you make informed, confident choices for the future. Get started on your free plan today.
