Memorial Satilla Health (MSH) recently presented a check for $11,500 to Okefenokee Swamp Park (OSP) through the Memorial Satilla Health Community Benefit Fund, reinforcing the hospital’s ongoing commitment to education, environmental stewardship,and economic vitality in the region.
A cornerstone of South Georgia, OSP offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience one of the world’s most extraordinary wetland ecosystems and learn about its history, wildlife and environmental importance.
“At Memorial Satilla Health, we believe investing in our community goes beyond the walls of our hospital,” said Damon Barrett, CEO of Memorial Satilla Health. “Supporting the Okefenokee Swamp Park helps preserve an incredible natural resource, strengthens educational opportunities and promotes tourism that benefits our local economy. We’re proud to partner with an organization that plays such an important role in our region’s history, environment and future.”
The funds from this sponsorship will help OSP continue its educational programming, support capital improvements throughout the park and strengthen tourism efforts.
The sponsorship also supports the park’s continued work toward achieving UNESCO World Heritage Site designation, positioning the Okefenokee alongside iconic natural landmarks such as the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park.
