Healogics® Launches Give Thanks; Give Back Campaign

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Healogics®, the nation’s wound expert, announced that it has launched its first-ever Give Thanks; Give Back campaign to over 600 Wound Care Centers® in the United States. All Centers, including the home office in Jacksonville, FL, are collecting newly packaged, cotton socks to distribute to various homeless shelters across the nation from now until November 29.

“Thanksgiving is a time to pause and remember the things for which we are grateful,” said David Bassin, Healogics Chief Executive Officer. “It is also an opportunity to give back to our communities, and this year we want to impact patient outcomes by helping to prevent wounds from even occurring.”

“When a diabetic foot ulcer is treated early, a patient has an improved chance of avoiding amputation,” said Bridgette McGrath, Chief Clinical Officer at Healogics. “In wound care, we know that one of the best ways to prevent foot ulcers is clean, dry cotton socks. That is why this campaign is so important.”

Each holiday season, hospitals experience a spike in their admission rates for wound patients. Healogics launched their Give Thanks; Give Back campaign to support good foot health in local communities.
