Morris Bank donated $200,000 to Georgia Hospitals! As a participant in the Georgia HEART Hospital Program, Morris Bank recently donated $200,000 to local hospitals in middle Georgia, including Dodge County Hospital, Candler County Hospital, and Effingham Health System. The program designates rural and critical access hospitals in Georgia to help increase funding and provide quality healthcare to thousands of patients state-wide. “Four years ago, Morris Bank began our participation in the Georgia HEART Hospital Program to help support the healthcare needs of our communities and our surrounding counties. Within those four years, we’ve been able to contribute $950,000 to the impact that these healthcare providers have on patient care, economic development, and quality of life in our communities,” says Spence Mullis, Chairman and CEO of Morris Bank. “We’re celebrating our 70th Anniversary as a bank this year, and while we’re proud of a number of accomplishments we’ve made within that time, we’re most proud of the investments we’ve made in our communities, like these.” For the full story, visit www.morris.bank/mbuzz
