Planned Giving

Don Hall, Doctor of Public Health in Preventive Medicine, showed early signs of seeing beyond common practice. With an eye for important but overlooked connections, Don made a positive impact on the health of millions through WellSource, his ground-breaking computerized health analysis program. Now, during his semi-retirement, he and his wife Trish find themselves keeping up with the latest health research, writing, and presenting seminars and workshops on wellness. They're also focused on how to make sure that the positive impact of his career and life-long passion — sharing the "secrets" of wellness — would continue for generations to come.
