Longtime volunteer gives back to the future of rehab

4,589 hours. Since 2015, that’s how much time MultiCare volunteer Randy Collins has spent giving back to the place that he says, “has given me my life back.”

Over a decade ago, Randy suffered a severe ATV accident, which would change his future forever. Thanks to the care he received at MultiCare Good Samaritan Regional Rehabilitation Center, he has a life worth living today — and it has motivated him to do even more for the next generation of patients.

In 2025, Randy committed two legacy gifts to MultiCare Good Samaritan Foundation: one by designating them as a retirement account beneficiary, and the other through a percentage of his will. Both will support rehabilitation services.

“Good Samaritan has done so much for me through my recovery,” Randy explains. “How many other people are like me? If I can support them just by being me, or through future gifts, then we all benefit.”

Not only that, Randy participated in MultiCare’s complimentary values-based estate planning process, offered through Thompson & Associates, where he learned new ways to clarify his objectives, organize a financial plan and maximize giving to the causes he cares deeply about.

“This process has really been a game changer for me,” he reflects.

While Randy has already helped hundreds — if not thousands — of other rehab patients, his legacy giving has the potential to inspire other donors to magnify their impact through a simple beneficiary designation.

“I hope it helps people and encourages others to do the same,” he shares.
