The Samuel and Isabel Small Legacy Society or the Anna Huber (VNA) Legacy Society History

The Samuel and Isabel Small Legacy Society

The Samuel and Isabel Small Legacy Society recognizes individuals who have provided for the future of WellSpan Health in York County through a financial or estate plan.

Samuel was a distinguished leader in York County. He was a director of York's first building association and of the York and Cumberland Railroad. But he is better known for his heart. He cared deeply for the health and welfare of his community. He founded the York Benevolent Association in 1863, the York Children's Home for orphans of soldiers two years later and the York Collegiate Institute. In 1879 he led a group of philanthropists in founding York Hospital.

Isabel was the daughter of a prominent attorney. A woman of rare intellect, she too is remembered for her heart for others.

She organized the women of York to aid wounded soldiers during the Civil War by providing bandages and sewing clothing. She donated and bequeathed substantial resources to benevolent organizations.

WellSpan York Hospital stands as a memorial to the care of Isabel and Samuel for those in need of health care. Their generosity touched many children and adults throughout the county during their lifetime; a legacy that continues to impact our community in profoundly important ways 140 years later.

Supporting WellSpan York Hospital or one of its related institutions through WellSpan York Health Foundation with an estate or other planned gift will ensure this continued legacy of improving the health and wellbeing of residents of York County for our children, grandchildren and their children.

The Anna Huber Legacy Society

The Anna Huber Legacy Society recognizes individuals who have provided for the future of WellSpan VNA Home Care through their financial or estate plan.

This society is named in honor of the founder of VNA Home Care (previously Visiting Nurses Association), Anna M. L. Huber. Born in 1874, Ms. Huber began a long and dedicated campaign to improve York's community health care for all residents. In 1904, she helped organize the St. Anne's Guild to sew for the poor in the maternity ward of York Hospital. In 1907, the group decided to start a district nursing program. One year later, the first visiting nurse began practicing in York. Anna Huber became the VNA's first President and served in that role for 48 years. She was an excellent organizer and an avid fundraiser.

Supporting WellSpan VNA through WellSpan York Health Foundation with an estate or other planned gift will ensure that Ms. Huber's vision of serving all of those in need will continue for future generations.
