On Jan. 15, Tanner Health Foundation hosted nearly 80 women at the Tanner Ladies Luncheon, bringing community members together to celebrate philanthropy and friendship.

Proceeds from the event benefited the expansion of the Sally and John Francis Tanner Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), helping ensure the highest level of care for the region’s most vulnerable patients. The luncheon raised nearly $4,000 in support of the NICU expansion.

The foundation extends its sincere thanks to event sponsors Verida, Kiwanis Club of Carrollton, D-BAT, Bonnie Boles, MD, Shannon Couvreur, DO, and Mrs. Alice Robinson for their generous support.

Community members are invited to mark their calendars for the next Tanner Ladies Luncheon on Aug. 27 in Villa Rica, supporting breast health.

Location details will be announced at a later date. 💚

The gift from Christopher Powell, MD, and his family supported renovations to the employee wellness facility and helped establish an endowment to advance ongoing mental and physical health resources for team members across the health system. Their investment reflects a strong commitment to supporting those who care for patients and families throughout the community.

Tanner Health Foundation is grateful to the Powell family for their leadership and dedication to strengthening the well-being of the health care workforce.

Did you know Georgians can choose where their state tax dollars go — and make a real impact right here in west Georgia?

Through the Georgia Rural Hospital Tax Credit Program, you can direct your tax contribution to Higgins General Hospital, part of Tanner Health, and receive a dollar-for-dollar Georgia income tax credit on your return.

That means your tax dollars don’t just disappear — they stay local, helping keep vital care close to home for the friends, neighbors and families who rely on Higgins General Hospital’s emergency services, imaging, lab work and more.

Thanks to this program, millions of dollars have already been invested in Higgins, supporting essential equipment upgrades and improvements in patient care.
