WAGENER, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Family Care Partners (FCP), a company focused on creating a network of primary care providers across the southeastern region of the United States is pleased to announce further expansion with the acquisition today of Wagener Medical Center in Wagener, SC.
“Wagener Medical Center has done an exceptional job working to provide patients with easy access to quality care,” stated FCP President and CEO, Thomas Watson. “Our patient-centered model is designed to enable our providers to focus on delivering outstanding care and superior outcomes by absorbing the administrative burdens of operating a practice, leveraging our scale and management expertise. We are excited to partner with the team at Wagener, eliminate those burdens, and also provide the capital to expand the array of medical services available to the local community.”
The Wagener Police Department (WPD) and Aiken County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) made two substantial arrests this week in Wagener in the war against drugs. WPD Lieutenant Hill and ACSO Deputy Smith made an arrest within the town limits on Monday, November 28, 2016 in which a large amount of prescription drugs and marijuana were confiscated and two non-residents of Wagener were arrested. Both arrests were direct results of concerned citizens phoning in their concerns about unusual behavior they noticed in their neighborhoods.
WPD Lt. Jeremy Hill and another ACSO Deputy made a second drug-related arrest in Wagener on the following night, November 29, 2016 in which crack cocaine was confiscated as well as other drugs and a 45-automatic pistol. One of the suspects escaped on foot, leaving his identification behind. WPD has a search out for this suspect, but is unable to publicize his name at this time. If you have any information leading to arrest, call 911 and you may be able to collect a reward.
The confiscated quantities of the controlled prescription drugs Xanax and Adderall and the crack cocaine were large enough quantities to charge the suspects with trafficking.
“They have a hard job.” Mayor Mike Miller said about the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office. “This is a big area to cover from Monetta all the way to Salley and into Windsor and all this area. They’ve been doing a good job. The deputies that we have that work this area are familiar to not only the area, but also the people. The people trust them enough to approach them and tell them what is going on.” Communication between the community and the police is vital to crime prevention. If you see anything unusual, call 911 to report it. Working together, we can make our communities safe.
