Continuing efforts to meet the changing healthcare needs of the community required many renovations and changes over the past 53 years For example in the last five years Peach Regional Medical Center opened a Cardiac Rehab and Wellness program and added the capabilities to perform sleep and nerve conduction studies in Fort Valley Taking a proactive approach the hospital has been successful in recruiting physician specialists so our patients can receive the specialized care they need close to home

Changes occur in health care on a regular basis and to remain progressive you have to adapt to these changes Peach Regional Medical Center did just that by being designated as a Critical Assess Hospital in November 2000 Staff members are committed to providing personalized quality care close to home and continue to stay focused while meeting challenges and adapting to the changes
