Wound Care Center has been awarded the Robert A. Warriner III, M.D., Center of Excellence
for 2017 by Healogics™.
For two consecutive years, the Wound Care Center has achieved patient satisfaction
rates higher than 92 percent and a healing rate of at least 91 percent
in less than 30 median days. These results were based on 10,025 wound
care encounters and 3,332 hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments in 2016
and 2017. Nationally, out of nearly 700 centers, 268 were honored with
this award, which is named for Dr. Robert A Warriner, III, a pioneer in
wound care and the former chief medical officer for Healogics.
“This award represents the commitment and dedication our wound care
team has in ensuring the best possible outcomes in wound healing for our
patients every day,” says
Eric Segerberg, M.D., board-certified general surgeon and medical director of the Wound Care
Center. “We are proud to be able to provide our patients this specialized,
superior care right here at Southeast Georgia Health System.”
