Iredell Health System is pleased to announce that Iredell Wound Care & Hyperbaric Center has been named a recipient of the Center of Distinction Award and the Robert A. Warriner III, MD, Clinical Excellence Award from Healogics, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services.
Iredell Wound Care is one of only three Healogics Wound Care Centers in North Carolina — and the only in the Greater Charlotte area — to receive both the Center of Distinction and Clinical Excellence Award, a true testament to the exceptional care they provide.
In order to receive the Center of Distinction Award, Iredell Wound Care & Hyperbaric Center has achieved outstanding clinical outcomes for 12 consecutive months, including a patient satisfaction rate higher than 92 percent. Iredell Wound Care also scored in the top 10 percent of Healogics Wound Care Centers on the Clinical Excellence measure.
“These awards are an acknowledgment of the hard work our team puts in every day to heal wounds in our community. We have a team of professionals who are not only experts in wound healing, but also treat every patient like they are family,” said Kayce Johnson, program director of Iredell Wound Care & Hyperbaric Center.
For 13 years, the Iredell Wound Care & Hyperbaric Center has successfully served and cared for patients with diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections, and other chronic wounds which have not healed in a reasonable amount of time.
To treat chronic wounds, the Iredell Wound Care Center provides advanced, state-of-the-art treatments such as negative pressure wound therapy, total contact casting, bio-engineered tissues, biosynthetic dressings, and growth factor therapies. The center also offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which works by surrounding the patient with 100 percent oxygen to help progress the healing of the wound.
