Michael Bowers , left holding check, and Baptist Health Hardin President Robert Ramey, right holding check, for new equipment for the Baptist Health Hardin Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Also pictured are representatives from Magnolia Bank, Baptist Health Foundation Hardin and Baptist Health Hardin. “Our reason for supporting the NICU is that we recognize these babies are some of our most vulnerable community members,” London said. “By supporting them in this earliest stage of life when their needs are especially dependent on consistent care, we are helping the NICU team establish the foundation for their futures and the opportunities they have for their lifetime with the best possible outcomes.” The donation will provide new equipment that will offer cutting edge technology and provide consistency in respiratory response throughout the NICU.

The gift was awarded Thursday to SpringHaven in recognition of the organization’s vital work in violence prevention and response in LaRue and Hardin counties — communities which are also home to Magnolia Banking Centers and the customers they serve. At the check presentation are Katie Guyton, Magnolia Bank Relationship Manager, from left; Deena London, Magnolia Bank President and CEO; Gregg Frist, Magnolia Bank Chief Lending Officer; Monica Bland, SpringHaven Director of Shelter Services; Ken Adams, Magnolia Bank Senior Vice President, Agricultural Lending; Shonna Sheckles, SpringHaven Assistant Director and Director of Outreach Services; and Jennifer Gray, Magnolia Bank Senior Vice President, Retail Banking.

March 8 marks International Women’s Day and serves as a reminder of the extraordinary achievements, resilience, and contributions of women across the globe. This day also highlights the spirit of tenacity and vision that women leaders evoke in their positions, like our leader, Deena London.
