Nurturing Wellness and Community: Jill's Synergy Story

Growing up on a farm teaches you a lot about family, hard work, commitment and the importance of community. No matter how far you wander from home, these values become a part of who you are. This is the experience that Dr. Jill MacKinnon describes, and longing for those values is what ultimately compelled her to return.

Born and raised in Macklin, SK, Jill moved away to study, gaining a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and a passion for nurturing wellness in others. Once she married and became a parent, the pull of small-town living was strong. Jill decided to return to her roots in Macklin, where she could raise her family and open a multidisciplinary wellness centre in the heart of her hometown.

Knowing this would require a financial partner, she turned to Synergy Credit Union “without hesitation.” A legacy member, she’d opened her first account there as a child and funded her post-secondary education with their support. “Every experience I’ve ever had with Synergy has been positive,” says Jill, “so it made perfect sense to partner with them” as she worked to bring her dream to life. Beyond the credit union’s innovative financial tools and guidance, Jill values their shared dedication to community. “Everyone who works at Synergy is local,” resulting in strong, caring relationships “you don’t get with [retail] banks in bigger cities.”

Synergy is thrilled to welcome Jill back to Macklin. One Eleven Wellness is already a hub for well-being in the area, expanding in ways that will benefit the larger community well into the future. We’re proud to support and amplify Jill’s efforts because they enhance quality of life for all of us. This is Synergy.
