August 25, 2020 – Southeast Georgia Health System
Wound Care Center physicians, leaders and clinicians recently gathered to celebrate the
Robert A. Warriner III, M.D., Clinical Excellence Award. The Wound Care
Center has scored in the top 10 percent of eligible Healogics® Wound
Care Centers® on the Clinical Excellence measure, which is the Comprehensive
Healing Rate weighted by wound mix. This is a way to measure the heal
rate for every patient that comes through the clinic door. The Wound Care
Center was awarded this prestigious honor by Healogics, the nation's
largest provider of advanced wound care services. Named for Dr. Robert
A. Warriner III, a pioneer in wound care and the former Chief Medical
Officer for Healogics, only 57 centers in the country received this award.
“We are proud to have received this award, as it exemplifies the
dedication our specially trained team has in ensuring the best possible
outcomes in wound healing for our patients,” says
Eric Segerberg, M.D., board-certified general surgeon and medical director of the Wound Care
Center. “We are committed to providing our patients with leading-edge
technology and offering treatments that can help heal and get patients
back to their best health.”
Southeast Georgia Health System Wound Care Center is a member of the Healogics
network of over 600 Wound Care Centers®. The Wound Care Center offers
highly specialized wound care to patients suffering from diabetic ulcers,
pressure ulcers, infections and other chronic wounds which have not healed
in a reasonable amount of time. Leading-edge treatments at the Wound Care
Center include negative pressure wound therapy, total contact casting,
bio-engineered tissues, biosynthetic dressings and growth factor therapies.
The Wound Care Center also offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which works
by surrounding the patient with 100 percent oxygen to help progress the
healing of the wound.
“One of the biggest challenges in healing wounds is when people wait
too long to seek treatment. When people seek treatment early, we have
the ability to heal that wound much faster and the outcomes are more favorable
for the patient,” explains Meredith Reilly, director, Wound Care
Center. “This award validates that we have met the highest standards
for quality care and patient satisfaction.”
