The Georgia Heart Program
The HEART Program is a remarkable and brilliant opportunity provided to Georgians by our elected officials. We are the only state in the nation that is afforded this opportunity to financially support our state’s rural hospitals – at no cost!
Help improve health care in our community by contributing to St. Mary's Sacred Heart Hospital or St. Mary's Good Samaritan Hospital through the Georgia HEART rural hospital tax credit opportunity!
The Georgia General Assembly passed legislation that enables Georgia taxpayers receive a state income tax CREDIT for 100% of the amount they contribute to qualified rural hospital organizations (up to the limits set forth below). There is a cap of $60 million in available tax credits per year under the program.
