SEG Spotlight: Bacon County Hospital

In 2016, Alive initiated a special partnership with Bacon County Hospital (BCH). Located in Alma, Georgia, approximately two hours north of Jacksonville, BCH has been serving the small community of 3,000 residents since its establishment in 1952.

Despite Bacon County's rural setting, its residents are known for their vibrant spirit and love for outdoor activities. While driving down Main Street, you're likely to spot boats, 4-wheelers, bikes, side-by-sides, and big trucks. With a population of 11,000, economic growth opportunities are limited, but the humble Bacon residents are diligent savers. Those who open shares at Alive are particularly drawn to our Holiday Club Account.

Alma is renowned for its annual Blueberry Festival, a cherished tradition where the community comes together to celebrate the significance of their blueberry crop and express gratitude to those involved in its production. The festival offers a plethora of entertainment, activities, and mouthwatering food.

BCH lives by the motto, "You're in my care," and strives to be a regional leader in patient safety, quality, and service excellence. Much like Alive, BCH recognizes that regardless of the number of patients they serve, everyone deserves top-notch care. One way in which Alive can support our Bacon County Hospital members is by acknowledging their pivotal role within the community and offering education on credit, as this rural area often lacks access to reputable lending institutions.

Have you had the chance to meet any BCH members? The next time you receive a call or encounter a member visiting from Bacon County, which they frequently do to shop in Jacksonville, make a point to connect with them and express your gratitude for their unique membership with us. Additionally, we'd love to hear your suggestions for the next Select Employee Group (SEG) we should spotlight. Please share your ideas in the comments below!
