"Jacksonville can now boast it is the hub for wound care management training in the world," Brown said.
The new company, which will be known as National Healing Corp., will also relocate to a new facility on Jacksonville?s Southside in March, expanding from 23,000 square feet to 35,000 square feet.The facility will be located in a complex south of James Turner Butler Boulevard and the first and second floors are being built out and leased to National Healing Corp., for about $46,000 a month.
In its new location, National Healing is building a high-tech training center that will be a global hub for wound care education where hundreds of doctors, nurses and other medical technicians will be trained monthly.
Jeff Nelson, CEO of National Healing, said that wound care training is not offered at university medical training, and the goal is to provide innovative management programs in conjunction with their hospital partnerships across the country.
National Healing received $200,000 from the state of Florida through the Quick Action Closing Fund, one of the state?s economic development incentives. JaxUSA Partnership is the economic development division of Jax Chamber.

National Healing has 2,000 employees nationwide. It manages more than 500 wound care centers in more than 10 percent of the hospitals in the nation, including Baptist Beaches and Baptist Downtown in Jacksonville.
The company provides hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, long-term acute care hospitals, rehabilitation centers, home health care and physician management with resources and talent to provide more patients with affordable access to life-saving wound care, it said in a news release.
Hugh Greene, president and CEO of Baptist Health and 2011 Jax Chamber chair, has worked with Diversified Clinical Services since 2009.
?Over the past few years, we have worked together to heal hundreds of patients in the community,? he said. ?I am pleased that the new company will remain headquartered in Jacksonville and look forward to working together for many years to come.?
Green said the demand for specialized wound care is continuing to increase and the company will also be opening a second wound care center sometime this spring at the Downtown pavilion.
Robert Hill, 2012 Jax Chamber chair, said that the merger brings two companies that are the best in class in disease management and the best in class in wound care treatment and training; forming one premier provider in wound care training in the world, based in Jacksonville.
Mayor Brown commended National Healing on its decision to keep its headquarters in Jacksonville.
?This is a great move that will help to generate good-paying jobs and shine an even brighter spotlight on the health care business in Northeast Florida,? he said. ?It?s a tough choice any time a company decides where to locate corporate headquarters and I commend the National Healing Corp. for recognizing the competitive advantages in Jacksonville.?
