Southeast Georgia Health System’s Brunswick and Camden Campus Wound Care Centers have once again been recognized for excellence in patient care, earning two prestigious awards from Healogics®, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services. Both centers received the Robert A. Warriner III, MD, Clinical Excellence Award and the Robert A. Warriner III, MD, Center of Distinction Award, recognizing their clinical outcomes and commitment to providing high-quality care for patients with chronic and non-healing wounds. The Clinical Excellence Award recognizes eligible Healogics® Wound Care Centers® that rank among the top 10% for clinical excellence measures. The Center of Distinction Award recognizes centers that achieve outstanding clinical outcomes over a 12-month period, including a patient satisfaction rate above 92%. The Brunswick and Camden Campus Wound Care Centers provide advanced treatment for chronic and non-healing wounds, including diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and other complex wound conditions. The multidisciplinary teams include health care providers and nurses with advanced training in wound management and treatment. Treatment options may include negative pressure wound therapy, total contact casting, bioengineered skin substitutes, biosynthetic dressings and growth factor therapies. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is also available and uses 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment to help promote healing for certain conditions.
