🫱🏼🫲🏽🏥 WEC is honored to support the Wiregrass Medical Center in Geneva, Alabama. Through WEC’s participation in the Alabama Rural Hospital Tax Credit Program, we proudly presented a check to Wiregrass Medical Center to assist in continuing their vital mission of providing critical health care services to the citizens of our rural Wiregrass communities.
Rural hospitals like Wiregrass Medical Center serve as true economic anchors in our local communities and play a key role in enhancing the quality of life across rural Alabama. They provide essential emergency services, support important public health initiatives, and help reduce the need for residents to travel long distances to receive care.
The Rural Hospital Investment Tax Credit Program, established by the Alabama Legislature, was created to help eligible rural hospitals address the significant financial challenges many face today. This program allows organizations like WEC to utilize qualifying State of Alabama tax credits to directly support rural community hospitals and strengthen local health care infrastructure.
We are incredibly grateful to Senator Donnie Chesteen and Representative Jeff Sorrells for their leadership in championing and advocating for initiatives like the Rural Hospital Tax Credit Program. Their continued efforts, along with the strong support of our Wiregrass legislative delegation, help secure programs, funding sources, and infrastructure improvements that promote positive economic development and directly benefit organizations like Wiregrass Medical Center.
The WEC Board of Trustees and the leadership of Wiregrass Electric Cooperative are proud to support Wiregrass Medical Center through this important initiative and remain committed to strengthening the communities we serve.
