The
Augusta Chronicle reported Monday that 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.
