Important update for year-end donors! If you’re planning to mail a charitable gift before December 31, 2025, new US Postal Service postmark rules could impact whether your donation counts for the 2025 tax year. Beginning December 24, 2025, the Postal Service will postmark mail based on when it’s processed—not when you drop it in the mailbox. That means a check mailed on December 31 might not receive a December 31 postmark unless it’s processed. Because the IRS considers your gift complete based on the postmark date, this change affects donations to any nonprofit—including Trinity Health. Here’s how to make sure your year-end gift is counted for 2025:
• Mail early—don’t wait until December 31.
• Ask for a manual postmark at the Post Office (it’s free).
• Purchase proof of mailing—Certificate of Mailing ($2.40) or Certified Mail ($5.30)
• Prefer no postmark worries? Give online through our website bit.ly/4saFZIo
Questions? Call us at 231.672.4890. We’re here to help make sure your generosity is counted the way you intend.

We were delighted to welcome the Timberland Charter Academy 5th–8th Grade Choir to Trinity Health Muskegon Hospital for a special performance, made possible by their director, Brenda Jeisy Conklin. Their beautiful voices filled our lobby with holiday music and brought smiles to the faces of staff, patients, and visitors alike.

The performance was a powerful reminder of how music can heal, inspire, and bring people together. Thank you to these incredibly talented students and their dedicated director for sharing their gift of music with us.
