The
Augusta Chronicle reported Monday that (http://bit.ly/130InQ2 )
the Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center, the Charlie Norwood Veterans
Affairs Medical Center and the Carl Vinson Veterans Affairs Medical Center
launched a partnership called the Georgia Federal Healthcare Executives
Council.
The
newspaper reports the facilities were recently awarded a $2.9 million grant
from the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to launch an orthopedic
and post-surgical care rehabilitation enterprise. The grant is expected to help
each facility hire extra personnel.
The
agreement calls for patients referred from the Carl Vinson facility in Dublin
to have surgery at the Eisenhower center at Fort Gordon and undergo
rehabilitation at the Norwood center in Augusta.
