Former Division I athlete and healthcare leader calls for more attention to vulnerable patient populations and frontline caregivers
As the demand for high-quality, patient-centered wound care grows across the U.S., James Brady Washburn, CEO of Mid South Wound LLC, is calling on healthcare providers and leaders to reframe how they approach care for chronic wounds and post-acute recovery patients. His message: "Wound care is not just clinical-it's personal. It's where compassion meets consistency."

Washburn, a seasoned healthcare executive and former Division I football player, now leads one of the region's most respected wound care companies, known for its commitment to bedside excellence and provider-driven innovation. Under his leadership, Mid South Wound LLC has grown into a trusted resource for long-term care facilities, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers.

"We're treating more than wounds-we're treating people who are often overlooked in a fast-moving healthcare system," Washburn said. "They need advocates. They need dignity. That starts with showing up every day with purpose."

A Call to Prioritise Underserved Patients

According to the National Institutes of Health, an estimated 6.7 million Americans live with chronic wounds, and that number is expected to rise due to aging populations and increasing rates of diabetes and obesity. Yet wound care remains an underfunded and underrecognised area in the broader healthcare landscape.

Washburn believes this gap must be addressed with urgency.

"We have some of the most vulnerable people-seniors, veterans, patients recovering from surgery-suffering in silence," he explained. "If wound care is done right, it restores not just skin, but confidence, mobility, and quality of life."

Leadership Rooted in Discipline and Legacy

Washburn's personal background adds weight to his message. The son of longtime NFL coach Jim Washburn and brother of Jeremiah Washburn, current coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, Brady grew up immersed in the values of discipline, teamwork, and relentless preparation.

He played college football at Clemson University and Appalachian State University, before earning a Bachelor of Business Administration from Lipscomb University in 2007. These experiences shaped his leadership style-driven yet humble, strategic yet grounded in relationships.

"Football taught me to lead under pressure," Washburn said. "But it also taught me to respect every role on the team. That's how I lead our clinicians-like teammates, not staff."

Bridging Innovation and Humanity

At Mid South Wound LLC, Washburn oversees strategic growth, provider recruitment, and clinical quality. But he stays connected to the day-to-day work of care teams and patients.

He advocates for healthcare companies to balance business efficiency with empathy-especially in fields like wound care, where treatment is often intimate and ongoing.

"You can't automate human touch," he said. "That's why I push for training, collaboration, and systems that support-not replace-the caregiver."

Washburn is currently preparing to launch Mid South Wound's new website, which will serve as a resource for facilities, partners, and families seeking expert wound care services in the Southeast.

What the Public Can Do

Washburn encourages individuals and families to:

*
Ask more questions about wound care options for loved ones in nursing homes or hospitals

*
Support local clinicians and nurses who provide ongoing wound care treatment

*
Advocate for better funding and awareness in post-acute and chronic wound care

*
Explore careers in wound care, which offers high demand and meaningful patient impact

"If you know someone recovering from surgery, in long-term care, or with a chronic condition-ask how their wound care is being handled," Washburn urged. "Your attention might change their outcome."

Final Word: Lead With Integrity, Serve With Heart

Whether it's mentoring his son, Cash Washburn, a rising football recruit, or managing a growing clinical operation, Washburn keeps one principle at the center of it all-service through leadership.

"Leadership isn't about being loud," he said. "It's about lifting others up and building something that lasts. In football, in business, and in healthcare-it all comes back to that."
