Dosher Wound Care Center Recognized as Center of Distinction

For the fourth year in a row, the Wound Care Center at Dosher Memorial Hospital has been recognized as a Center of Distinction. The criteria for this recognition requires achieving or exceeding outstanding clinical and operational results, including patient satisfaction rates higher than 92 percent and a heal rate of 92 percent in less than 28 median days to heal.

The doctors, nurses and technicians on the Wound Care team are all specially trained in wound management and are invested in the most successful outcomes available for our patients. Brad Hilaman, MD, Dosher Hospital CEO and Medical Director of the Dosher Wound Care Center says, "It's rewarding to not only receive this recognition, but to witness outcomes that both heal wounds as well as make a significant difference in the quality of life for our patients."

Dosher's Wound Center is a member of the Healogics network of nearly 700 Wound Care Centers, with access to benchmarking data and proven experience treating approximately 330,000 patient admissions annually. Dosher offers highly specialized wound care to patients suffering from diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and other chronic wounds which have not healed in a reasonable amount of time. Treatments at the Center include hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which works by surrounding the patient with 100 percent oxygen under pressure to help progress the healing of the wound.
