Heaven Can Wait Thanks to St Marys Good Samaritan Hospital at Lake Oconee
In early 2014, St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Hospital will relocate to a state-of-the-art medical facility now being built at the entrance of one of the most well known Georgia lake communities on Lake Oconee, Reynolds Plantation. This new hospital will ease the minds of retiring Baby Boomers even further, such as Reynolds Plantation residents whose homes are located approximately 2 miles from this new Lake Oconee hospital.
Retiring Baby Boomers are drawn to Lake Oconee real estate because of the high quality of living this popular Georgia lake can offer them such as championship golf, hiking, biking, and fishing.
