Quality of Life - Education.

Crisp County School System.
The Crisp County School System serves approximately 4,400 prekindergarten through grade 12 students in its seven schools. All prekindergarten students are served at O'Neal Prekindergarten Center in the historic O'Neal neighborhood of Cordele. Students in grades K-2 are served at Blackshear Trail Elementary School or J. S. Pate Elementary School, depending upon their zones of residence. Similarly, students in grades 3-5 are served at A. S. Clark Elementary School or Southwestern Elementary School according to the same residency zones. All students in Crisp County's public school system attend Crisp County Middle School for grades 6-8, and all students in grades 9-12 are served at Crisp County High School.

Each school's commitment to optimizing the achievement of students is manifest in our system's credible track record. Blackshear Trail Elementary School and J. S. Pate Elementary School have met No Child Left Behind's AYP standards for 11 consecutive years. A. S. Clark Elementary School and Southwestern Elementary School have done the same for 7 consecutive years.

Both Crisp County High School and Crisp County Middle School provide students with instructional programs that are comprehensive and challenging by design. A diverse curriculum allows students to explore their interests while enabling them to prepare themselves to be productive citizens in the workplace of tomorrow. Both schools boast an array of extra-curricular activities for male and female participants. Regardless of whether one prefers the arts or athletics, Crisp County Schools has something for everyone. www.crispcountyschools.org

Quality of Life - Healthcare.

Crisp County Regional Hospital.
Qualified and caring physicians, along with modern technology, provide the Crisp County region with quality health-care.

For more that 50 years, Crisp Regional Hospital has served the medical needs of the area. The present facility on Hwy. 41 (7th Street) north opened its doors in 1990, and has recently completed an expansion project that doubled the size of the intensive care unit, provided a new medical records area, a larger physician's lounge, a relocation for the same day surgery department and will allow for the expansion of the medical imaging department.

The expansion means that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment can be purchase and provided in-house. In the past year, the hospital has added two pieces of imaging equipment that are state-of-the-art.

A GW Lunar iDXA Scanner for measuring bone mineral density is twice as precise and accurate as competing systems. The newest technology delivers crisp, high resolution images of all skeletal sites. In addition to bone, the DXA also can assess fat and lean tissue. DXA is the "gold standard" test for assessing fracture risk.

Crisp Regional rivals the capabilities of neighboring big city hospitals with the addition of a GE 64 Slice VXT CT Scanner. This scanner helps to pinpoint disease at earlier stages and provides doctors more information for planning appropriate treatment.

The technology is so fast that it can capture exceptionally clear pictures of the heart while it is beating. When physicians obtain detailed images of the anatomy and organ systems, they are able to make more informed diagnostic in a noninvasive manner.

Besides a thoroughly modern imaging department, Crisp Regional offers an accredited medical laboratory and full-time, board certified pathologist; a dialysis center; an emergency team that's on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; a home-like birthing center; physical, speech and occupational therapy; a sleep center and an oncology clinic.

Close to 100 physicians representing 20 specialized fields have privileges at the 73-bed facility.

Crisp Regional is proud of its Auxiliary which includes a corps of some 45 members who work daily at the hospital information desk and in the gift shop. One of this group's primary purposes is raising funds to put back into the medical facility.

Among the Auxiliary's gift have been recliners for the oncology clinic, scrubs that the emergency room staff can give patients, and a new software program for testing of therapy patients.

Also Affiliated with Crisp Regional are two community health-care centers in Warwick and Arabi; Crisp Regional Nursing and Rehab Center; Blackshear Retirement Villas; Crisp Regional Hospice and Caresouth. www.crispregional.org
