Draffin Tucker Contributes Over $1,300,000 To Rural Hospitals Through State’s Tax Credit Program

ALBANY, GA - In response to Georgia’s Rural Hospital Tax Credit Program, Draffin & Tucker, LLP has announced that with its 2023 contribution of approximately $240,000, the Draffin Tucker team has contributed over $1,300,000 to eligible rural hospitals within the state over the last seven years.

“Draffin Tucker works extensively with hospitals and health systems throughout the state of Georgia of which many serve rural communities.  Certainly, over the last couple of years we have seen how vital rural hospitals are to not only their communities but to the state’s healthcare infrastructure. The Georgia Rural Hospital Tax Credit Program is just one of the many ways that our firm participates in supporting rural hospitals so they may continue to provide the care and services their communities need,” said Jeff Wright, firm managing partner.

House Bill 769 sought to drive private contributions to rural hospitals through the Rural Hospital Tax Credit Program, designed to bolster the rural hospital community in Georgia by generating total contributions in excess of $300 million over a five-year term from 2017-2022. House Bill 1041, which was passed in 2022, increased the statewide limit from $60 million to $75 million.
