Drake Center: Specialized Medical & Rehabilitative Care
Dr. Joseph Segal
Each year, approximately 2 million patients in the United States acquire infections while hospitalized for other conditions. These infections account for 88,000 deaths and cost approximately $4.6 billion. Drake Center’s Dr. Joseph Segal, board-certified in both internal medicine and the subspecialty of infectious diseases, has committed his career to helping treat such problems.
As Medical Director of Drake Center’s Medically Complex Rehabilitation Program and Chairman of its Infection Control Committee, Dr. Segal’s interests include antibiotic resistance and hospital-acquired infections. His experience is an invaluable asset to Drake Center’s long-term acute care program, one of the few programs of its kind in the Midwest.
Dr. Segal joined Drake Center after 15 years in private practice in internal medicine and infectious diseases. He is a member of the Infectious Disease Society of America and the American Society of Microbiology, and is a Fellow with the American College of Physicians.
Dr. Segal earned his medical degree from the Indiana University School of Medicine and completed an Infectious Diseases Fellowship at the Washington University of St. Louis School of Medicine.
