ALBANY, GA (WALB) -

The Dougherty County School System gave a big thanks to their partners Wednesday morning.

The Chamber of Commerce and DCSS held their partners in Excellence appreciation breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn.

Several business, churches and elected leaders were honored for their commitment of time and resources to Dougherty County Schools.

Superintendent Dr. Joshua Murfree thanked all the supporters for their efforts.

Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital won the award for Partner of the Year. 

"If they have healthy students, then the students are going to learn, and their jobs are better. From that prospective, we are filling the gap that often time was left unattended to," said Phoebe Putney CEO Joel Wernick.

U-Save-It Pharmacy and Proctor and Gamble sponsored the breakfast.
