United Community has offered up one of the largest Rural Hospital Tax Credit contributions ever made to the Northeast Georgia Health System.
The bank deferred $500,000 to directly benefit Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Lumpkin and NGMC Habersham.
“We’re deeply committed to supporting the communities we serve, and access to quality health care is vital for rural areas,” said Jack Keener, North Georgia state president at United Community. “We’re proud to utilize the Rural Hospital Tax Credit program to make this impactful contribution to NGMC Lumpkin and NGMC Habersham.”
The Rural Hospital Tax Credit program allows eligible Georgia businesses and taxpayers to receive a state income tax credit for contributing to qualified rural hospitals. This program has become an essential lifeline for many rural healthcare facilities facing financial challenges.
“United Community’s generous contribution will have a profound impact on our ability to provide high-quality care to people who rely on our hospitals in Lumpkin and Habersham counties,” said Kevin Matson, NGHS’ vice president of Regional Hospitals. “We’re grateful for their support and for the Rural Hospital Tax Credit program, which continues to be a crucial resource for rural healthcare in Georgia.”
