The History of Our Legacy Societies

The Samuel and Isabel Small Legacy Society

The Samuel and Isabel Small Legacy Society recognizes donors who have supported the future of WellSpan York Hospital through financial or estate plans. Samuel Small was a distinguished leader who founded several philanthropic organizations in York, including the York Benevolent Association, York Children’s Home and York Collegiate Institute. In 1879, he led a group that founded York Hospital, demonstrating his deep care for the community’s health and wellbeing.

His wife, Isabel, the daughter of a prominent attorney, shared his spirit of philanthropy. During the Civil War, she organized women to aid wounded soldiers with bandages and clothing. She also donated and bequeathed substantial resources to charities. WellSpan York Hospital stands as a memorial to their generosity and care for those in need of healthcare — a legacy that continues to impact the community profoundly even 140 years later.

The Anna Huber Legacy Society

The Anna Huber Legacy Society recognizes individuals who have supported the WellSpan VNA Home Care through a financial or estate plan. Named after Anna M.L. Huber, the founder of VNA Home Care (previously Visiting Nurses Association), this society honors her dedication to improving community healthcare for all York residents since 1904. Anna helped organize the St. Anne’s Guild, which led to York’s first visiting nurse in 1908. As VNA’s first president for 48 years, she was an excellent organizer and fundraiser, ensuring her vision of serving those in need would continue. Supporting WellSpan VNA through the Anna Huber Legacy Society upholds her remarkable legacy for future generations.
