SUNCARE HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE Supporting Effingham Women in Business

Hospice and Palliative Care are not places, but rather services that provide a philosophy of comfort care through a team of trained professionals. Care is provided wherever you call home (residential, assisted living, nursing home to name a few). Hospice is not a cure; our team focuses on comfort with maintaining quality of life and dignity when someone is diagnosed with an incurable illness. Our commitment is to honor and support our patients and families to live each day to the fullest possible.

“I love working with SunCare Hospice and Palliative Care because we all share the same passion for the care they give at the end of life. Everyone truly has a hospice heart and does their job to the best of their ability.”

“The SunCare team respects our patient and families and strives to ensure comfort and dignity at such a difficult time in their lives. I feel honored to work with such a caring, competent, and specialized team of hospice professionals.”

ou have to look at your past to know how your future can be better. Tina Browning gives this advice to the people she teaches about budgeting and financial literacy, but this same advice has guided her through life.

Tina has worked with Queensborough National Bank & Trust since 2015. In her role as Associate Vice President of Queensborough’s At Work program, she is a seasoned bank officer with many years of experience supporting coastal Georgia business owners with financial solutions. She also works with youth groups and nonprofit organizations to promote financial literacy.

“I enjoy helping people with their future goals and financial decisions,” Tina says. “Most importantly, I’m proud to say that I lead our region with educating and working with our businesses and their employees.”

With her motivating spirit and desire to help others, she has impacted many lives. Single parents who have changed the course for a new generation by purchasing their first homes, families who are striving to save for their children’s college education and people who are struggling to get out of debt. “Your credit is your future,” Tina tells people. “What you do now leads you to the next step.”

Tina connects the patterns of the past to help people take the steps to build credit and financial stability. She coaches adults to make budgets, cut unnecessary spending and save for the future through IQ University, a lesson that she carries to the next generation through IQ Junior.

“Financial literacy is not a prerequisite to graduate from high school. It’s a life skill that isn’t being taught,” Tina says.

Tina recalls one man who connected with her years after a workshop she had facilitated. Her words resonated with him, and he had held onto her business card for the past three years. Now he was ready to meet with her and take the next steps toward financial security.

“It just really blessed me to know that somebody you met three years ago said that you made a difference. You just never know what will influence that next person to do better,” Tina says. “And when they do, they spread it to the next person.”

The Importance of Community

Banking wasn’t Tina’s original career path. She first moved to Savannah from Kentucky in 1992 to operate a Kirby franchise, where she met the retiring owner, Walter Horne. It was he who encouraged her to get involved in the community.

“He showed me how important community was,” Tina says. “He took me to meetings and had me sit beside him to listen and learn what it means to be a community leader.”
