Gail and Jim

For more than 50 years, Boise residents Gail and Jim Hawkins and their family have been receiving quality medical care from St. Luke’s. But the couple isn’t looking back. They’re paying their gratitude forward. 

The Hawkinses have the distinction of making the first irrevocable bequest intention that has ever been made to St. Luke’s. This type of bequest can be made by people age 70 and older who would like to commit an estate gift toward an ongoing philanthropic campaign, giving them the ability to see the impact take root during their lifetime. Both Gail and Jim have been treated for cancer and their gift has been dedicated to supporting high quality cancer care close to home. 

The couple believes their bequest is a personal responsibility. “St. Luke’s is a community hospital, so we all have ownership,” Jim says. “We should support these hospitals. We have a vested interest so they can grow and continue to provide great quality care treatment.”
