Rural hospitals are vital to the health and strength of our communities.

This program gives individuals and businesses the opportunity to support eligible rural hospitals while receiving a 100% state tax credit. Every contribution goes directly toward improving patient care, sustaining local jobs, and ensuring quality healthcare remains close to home.

Starting today, you can plan to make a powerful impact on Alabama’s rural hospitals and receive a full, dollar-for-dollar state tax credit for your contribution! 🏥💙

The Alabama Rural Hospital Investment Program allows individuals and businesses to support eligible rural hospitals, helping sustain vital healthcare services in communities across the state. These hospitals care for families around the clock, support local jobs, and are essential to local economies.

There is a cap on the tax credits, and they are expected to go quickly! If you haven’t already, review the list of eligible hospitals: https://bit.ly/4b3RqLK and reserve your donation today: https://myalabamataxes.alabama.gov/!

Every dollar contributed supports patient care and helps keep rural hospitals strong. Learn more: https://bit.ly/alruralhospitals

We are grateful for strong leadership and advocacy for healthcare in our community.

Ashley Pool, President of Highlands Medical Center, recently presented HOSPAC checks on behalf of the Alabama Hospital Association to Senator Steve Livingston and State Representative Mike Kirkland, recognizing their unwavering support of Alabama healthcare. Stephen McCormick, with the Alabama Hospital Association, also joined in presenting the checks.

Support like this helps ensure hospitals like Highlands Medical Center can continue providing high-quality care, investing in our teams, and meeting the needs of the families who depend on us every day. We appreciate our state leaders for standing with healthcare and with our community.
