The PEACH Awards (Professional Excellence and Achievement in Community Health) are presented to those who have done exceptional work. We certainly received our share of recognition and we are so thankful and honored:

When I joined GHMS in 2008, I didn’t realize I was going to find my calling and my purpose. We take care of all that come to us, we take care of our community and we make a difference every day! I am blessed to be able to work with our patients, our staff, our board and the hardest working and most caring administrative team.”
