Members of the community, hospital staff and local officials gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening of the new Wound Care Center located at Garrett County Memorial Hospital. Pictured (l-r) are Wayne Johnson, chairman of the GCMH Board of Governors, Commissioner Ernest Gregg, Jeff Gosnell, Gosnell Construction Company, Kendra Thayer, Director of Wound Care Services, Stephanie Brenneman, Office Assistant for the Center, Donald Battista, GCMH President & CEO, Darlene Engle, Wound Care Center nurse, and Dr. Marjorie Fridkin, Medical Director for the Center.
The Wound Care Center specializes in caring for patients with chronic wounds. Conditions contributing to the development of ulcers or open wounds that often fail to heal from conventional methods include diabetes, circulation disorders, lymphedema, obesity, and problems with mobility. Wound Care Centers also see patients with pressure ulcers or post-operative wounds that have failed to heal by normal interventions or patients who require follow up care for burns or traumatic injuries.
Funding assistance for renovations necessary to open the Wound Care Center were provided by the Hospital's Loar Auxiliary. Renovations and construction work for the Center were completed by the Gosnell Construction Company, Inc.
