2022 Healogics Center of Distinction

Healogics, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services, and Wood County Hospital’s Wound Healing Center have partnered together since 2009 to care for patients suffering from chronic wounds in our community. The team at our Wound Healing Center received the 2022 Healogics Center of Distinction, a national recognition for clinical excellence. Healogics uses this award to acknowledge the hard work, dedication and accomplishments of wound center staff and physicians who deliver care and treatment in a manner that exceeds the performance of other like centers.

The Center achieved outstanding clinical outcomes for 12 consecutive months, including:
A Patient Satisfaction Rate Above 92%
A Wound Adjusted Comprehensive Healing Rate Above 75%
An Outlier Rate Below 16%

“I am proud to work side by side with the doctors, nurse practitioner, nurses, and the patient navigator on a daily basis. They do an outstanding job taking care of our patients while at the same time focusing on the needs of the families and caregivers. Our staff remains patient-centered and person-first, which means we treat the patient as a whole, not just their wounds. I feel the staff upholds the values of Healogics as well as Wood County Hospital,” shared Craig Smith, MSN, RN, Clinical Program Director

Our Wound Healing Center provides highly specialized wound care for patients who are suffering from diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and other chronic wounds which have not healed in a reasonable amount of time. Some of the cutting-edge treatments offered at our Wound Healing Center include negative pressure wound therapy, debridement, application of cellular-based tissue or skin substitutes to the wound, total contact casts and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO).
