Brent and Heather Powers

As chief medical officer at Lexington Medical Center, Brent Powers, MD, has a unique perspective. He's a Foundation donor involved in the leadership of the hospital and directly provides care to patients. For Dr. Powers and his wife Heather, giving is a way of life intrinsic with their beliefs.

"We don't have to be the dynamite. We just have to be the wick, the fuse. Do what you think is best and make it better, and step forward in faith in God. I am continually amazed of the impact of those who believe in a better tomorrow. That's the way I view everything in life – the way I aspire to work, give and interact with others."
Dr. Powers worked with the Foundation to establish a life insurance gift.

"It was incredibly easy – easier than I thought it would be."

This opportunity provided a simple way to accomplish more with his giving.

"It's not about us; at the end of our days, it's about the opportunity we had to improve the human spirit."

Dr. Powers chose to make the Foundation both owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy he established to benefit the overall mission of the Foundation.
