Bank OZK (Nasdaq: OZK) is pleased to announce a $100,000 contribution to Memorial Hospital and Manor in Bainbridge, Georgia through the Georgia HEART Hospital Program. This brings the total donated since 2018 by Bank OZK for this community hospital to $430,000.

“Bank OZK is committed to the communities it serves and the financial health of our neighbors in Bainbridge,” said Tori Haack, President of Commercial Banking for East Georgia. “A strong community is also dependent on convenient access to quality healthcare services, and Bank OZK is proud to support Memorial Hospital and Manor with a contribution for the sixth consecutive year.”

Since 2018, Bank OZK has contributed more than two million dollars through Georgia HEART, the statewide rural hospital organization expense tax credit program. Lawmakers enacted Georgia HEART to encourage taxpayers in Georgia to learn more about the financial and other challenges rural hospitals face and to contribute to improve their financial condition and patient offerings.

Bank OZK has gone above and beyond again this year blessing us through the Georgia Heart Tax Credit Program. They have been long time partners with our hospital and their continued support shows how important they believe having access to a full service hospital is to our rural community. Because of the generous donations through this program, we will be able to make needed equipment purchases and building upgrades.  Jamie Sinko, Director of Development.

Bank OZK contributed a total of $450,000 in 2023 to three rural Georgia hospitals, including Higgins General Hospital in Bremen and Union General Hospital in Blairsville. Bank OZK has 71 banking centers in Georgia, including two in Bainbridge.
