Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a significant day in American history marking the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States.

Observed annually on June 19, Juneteenth serves as a time to reflect on our nation's history, recognize the ongoing pursuit of equality, and celebrate the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout our communities and country.

Peach County honors the importance of this day and encourages all citizens to take time to learn, reflect, and celebrate the enduring values of freedom and opportunity for all.

We are honored to announce that Peach County EMS has been recognized with the Mission: Lifeline® Silver EMS Achievement Award, advancing from the Bronze level recognition we received last year.

This achievement reflects our continued commitment to improving the care we provide to patients experiencing life-threatening cardiac emergencies.

The Mission: Lifeline program, established by the American Heart Association, recognizes EMS agencies that consistently follow evidence-based guidelines to ensure heart attack patients receive timely diagnosis, treatment, and transport to the most appropriate facility.

🥉 Bronze Recognition acknowledges agencies that have successfully implemented Mission: Lifeline quality improvement measures and demonstrated adherence to key performance metrics.

🥈 Silver Recognition is awarded to agencies that not only maintain those high standards but demonstrate sustained excellence and continued performance over time. It signifies a higher level of consistency in delivering guideline-driven care that improves patient outcomes.

Moving from Bronze to Silver is a testament to the dedication of our EMTs, Advanced EMTs, Paramedics, dispatchers, quality improvement staff, hospital partners, and Medical Director. Their commitment to clinical excellence ensures that the citizens and visitors of Peach County receive the highest quality emergency cardiac care when every second counts.

While we're proud of this accomplishment, our work doesn't stop here. We remain committed to continuous improvement and to providing the best possible care to our community, and our next stop is Gold, which recognizes two consecutive years of consistent excellence in the areas of cardiac and stroke care.

Thank you to our entire team for making this achievement possible and to the community for trusting us when you need us most.

From Gavels to Gravel: Making Sense of Your County Budget

When you hear the word "budget," you may think of spreadsheets and numbers. In reality, the Peach County budget is the roadmap that guides how your tax dollars are invested back into the community.

Every line item in the budget represents a service provided to our citizens. It funds road maintenance, public safety, court operations, parks and recreation, planning and zoning services, and the equipment and personnel needed to keep Peach County running efficiently.

The budget process is a year-round effort. Planning for Fiscal Year 2027 began this spring with personnel and departmental requests. Throughout the summer, department heads and elected officials present their needs to the Board of Commissioners and Budget Committee, where every request is reviewed carefully to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly.

Transparency is a key part of the process. Before planning for the future, the County undergoes an independent annual audit to ensure public funds are being managed appropriately. The County's budget and financial documents are available for public review on the Finance Department page of our website: https://peachcounty.gov/finance-department/finance-department-documents/

In the coming months, citizens will have the opportunity to review the proposed budget and provide feedback during public hearings before the Board of Commissioners adopts the final budget for Fiscal Year 2027.

Every budget decision is guided by one principle: being good stewards of taxpayer dollars. Our goal is to maintain a fiscally responsible government while continuing to provide the services our community relies on every day.
