“We’re committed to expanding the continuum of care and providing safe, affordable access to care—allowing people to keep their care local,” says Memorial Hospital and Manor’s CEO Jim Lambert. “It takes many helping hands to sustain a growing healthcare organization. We appreciate First Port City Bank for their continued leadership by supporting quality healthcare in our community.”

Since 2019, First Port City Bank has supported Memorial Hospital and Manor through the Georgia HEART program. “The financial contributions through the Georgia HEART program further Memorial Hospital and Manor’s mission to provide quality health care for not only our community, but surrounding communities as well” says Scott Ewing, President of First Port City Bank. “We are thrilled to be able to provide these much-needed funds to enhance rural Georgia hospitals, and especially proud to be able to support Memorial Hospital and Manor in their desire and dedication to serve our community.”
