A PROCLAMATION WOUND CARE AWARENESS WEEK
WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS:
THEREFORE:
An estimated 6. 7 million people in the U.S. live with chronic wounds and that number is expected to grow steadily throughout the next decade; and
Untreated chronic wounds can lead to a diminished quality of life and possibly the amputation of an affected limb. The treatment of chronic wounds costs the healthcare system more than $50 billion per year; and
More than 30 million people in the U.S. have diabetes and approximately two million of those people will develop a diabetic foot ulcer or other non-healing wound; and
Advanced wound care aims to prevent amputations and heal patients in a faster and more cost-effective way. Wound care physicians and health care providers take great pride in caring for their patients, and seeing their patients succeed; and
Advanced wound care aims to prevent amputations and heal patients in a faster and more cost-effective way. Wound care physicians and health care providers take great pride in caring for their patients, and seeing their patients succeed; and
Greater awareness and education about chronic wounds will benefit current and future chronic wound patients. This week, organizations like Healogics will inform patients, their families, community physicians and the general public about the importance of advanced wound care and its ability to save lives and limbs; now
I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim June 6-10, 2016 as TITLE OF PROCLAMATION in Georgia.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 9th day of May in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen.
