U.S. Senate lauds Augusta veteran services

This week the United States Senate unanimously approved a resolution commending Augusta’s service to veterans. The measure was introduced by Georgia Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson. The resolution expresses gratitude to medical organizations and local healthcare personnel for working together to care for wounded warriors.

One example of this collaboration, medical staff from the Eisenhower Army Medical Center and the Augusta Department of Veterans Affairs have routinely met to discuss future patient cases for the Active Duty Rehabilitation Unit.

Since 2004, more than 1,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines have received rehabilitation services at the Eisenhower medical facility.
