Donations of Securities
The St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation welcomes gifts of securities, including stocks or mutual funds that have appreciated in value. Gifts of publicly traded securities provide a double tax benefit for donors. Donors avoid a capital gains tax on appreciated securities and receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities.
According to IRS guidelines, the date and value of the gift are determined by the date on which the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation takes control of the securities. For securities held by brokerage houses, a donor must simply provide his or her broker with instructions to make the transfer to the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation account.
Emergency Medicine physicians Autumn Loomis and Jennie Hooper help those in need at St. Luke’s Wood River
Drs Autumn Loomis and Jennie Hooper joined St. Luke’s Wood River (SLWR) Emergency Department (ED) in 2022 and are thrilled to call the Wood River Valley home while helping residents and visitors alike in their time of need. Loomis was born and raised in Hailey and graduated from Wood River High School in 1998. She attended the University of Michigan for her undergraduate degree before going to medical school in San Antonio, Texas and completing her residency training in Louisville, Kentucky. Since then, she’s worked in numerous locations across the US and abroad. Most recently, after moving back from New Zealand, Loomis and her husband James lived in Boston for a few years before she came back home to Idaho. Hooper is originally from Los Angeles but has lived all over the country including San Diego, Washington DC, Charleston, SC, and Fort Collins, CO. She has two sisters, one of whom lives in Hailey. Hooper adds, “I come from a family of all lawyers and am the first on either side to go into medicine.” Hooper received her Bachelor of Science in Cognitive Science with a concentration in Neuroscience from University of California, San Diego. She earned her medical degree at George Washington University in Washington, DC and completed her internship and residency at Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Hooper came to SLWR from Oregon and was previously in Wyoming and Colorado for numerous years. She is particularly interested in Wilderness Medicine, Pre-Hospital/Emergency Services as well as Teaching and Academics.
