 Life is good all this month at Appalachian Wireless. Get the LG G5 for just one penny with signup or renewal of a two-year service agreement. That's almost $100 off the regular price. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Healthcare National Marketing's call center in Jenkins closed its doors last Friday, leaving 18 employees, now unemployed. The center was open for less than two years and operated as an outbound call center, where employees would contact potential leads interested in health and dental insurance. But financial losses at the center, which had also had a heavy turnover in staff since its opening, prompted the decision to close. Business was off. They were putting between 10 and 20,000 a month in it to keep it open. So they made a business decision to close the call center. But the closure doesn't mean that Healthcare National Marketing is pulling out of Jenkins. The company's Smile Faith Dental Ministry, which provides charitable dental care, will continue to operate. And the building that housed the call center will eventually become a recreational wellness center for the community. I also told me they'd got a grant from Delta Dental for $50,000 to apply it towards the construction and renovations to make the wellness center go. They've already built a stage and put a sound system in. They tell me they're going to take the technology out and go ahead and use that portion of the building for the wellness center to make it even bigger. So, you know, the opportunity of another call center is probably gone with that building for right now. The Recreational Wellness Center is expected to have basketball courts and exercise equipment in addition to a live music stage. The portion of the building previously used for the call center will also be incorporated into the Recreational Wellness Center. Even though there'll be gone far as the business end of it, they're still invested in Jenkins far as the wellness center and doing the dental missions. Jenkins Mayor Todd DePriest said health care national marketing hopes to have the Recreational Wellness Center open to the public by late summer. He said several part time jobs are expected to be established along with it. Reporting from Jenkins for EKB News, I'm Chris Anderson.
