One of our towns was hit by tragedy on Wednesday, January 23rd.  We are proud SunTrust customers and can’t imagine what the employees and customers went through that day. Our thoughts, prayers and hearts are with the families and employees effected by this tragedy. 

We have compiled information about local grief counseling services that are available for the Highlands County Community at free or reduced cost.   Please, if you need assistance, reach out to one of these resources.  Sometimes we need help to regain our strength. 

Thank you to our partners and others in the area for providing grief counseling services at these reduced or free rates.  To see a list of the providers we have spoken to and confirmed their resources, click here.  To learn more about the Crisis Response Team by Peace River Center, please click here to view a pdf.

​What Is Rural In Florida?

According to Florida Statute, 381.0406, the definition of rural means an area with a population density of less than 100 individuals per square mile or an area defined by the most recent United States Census as rural.

30 of Florida's 67 counties are considered rural based on this definition. These 30 counties cover just over 42% of Florida's nearly 54,000 square miles of land. Rural counties are primarily located in the Florida Panhandle, north central Florida, the south central portion of the state, and the Florida Keys. Approximately 1.1 million of Florida's 16 million citizens live in rural counties. Portions of other Florida counties also contain large, rural pockets.
