Holy Cross Health’s Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Program Honored with Center of Distinction Award

Holy Cross Health's Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Program has been awarded the Center of Distinction honor by Healogics, the largest provider of advanced wound care services in the United States. This recognition is a result of the program's outstanding clinical outcomes over twelve consecutive months, including a patient satisfaction rate exceeding 92 percent. Margie Garland, Program Director at Holy Cross HealthPlex, attributed this achievement to the program's commitment to quality care and thanked the team for their dedication.

The program, part of the Healogics network, specializes in treating chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers with advanced therapies. These include negative pressure wound therapy, bio-engineered tissues, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which uses 100 percent oxygen to speed up healing. The Center of Distinction award highlights the program's success in improving patient outcomes and sets a benchmark for excellence in wound care.

This accolade not only underscores Holy Cross Health's leadership in wound care but also reinforces the importance of specialized treatment options for patients with chronic wounds. The recognition by Healogics, which oversees a vast network of Wound Care Centers, signifies the program's role in advancing wound care standards and patient care practices nationwide.
