There were 555 centers eligible for the Center of Distinction award and 278 achieved the honor.

2020 Healogics Center of DistinctionTo earn the Clinical Excellence Award, the Wound Healing Center scored in the top 10 percent of eligible Healogics® Wound Care Centers on the Clinical Excellence measure, which is the Comprehensive Healing Rate weighted by wound mix. The center was awarded this prestigious honor by Healogics, the nation's largest provider of advanced wound care services. This award is named for Dr. Robert A. Warriner III, a pioneer in wound care and the former Chief Medical Officer for Healogics. The Wound Healing Center is one of only four practices in Kentucky to achieve this honor.

“At Owensboro Health Twin Lakes Medical Center, we focus on excellent care every day, for every patient, every time,” said OHTLMC COO Ashley Herrington. “This recognition reflects that attitude, and I could not be more proud of our team members.”

The Owensboro Health Twin Lakes Wound Healing Center is a member of the Healogics network of more than 600 Wound Care Centers and offers highly specialized wound care to patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and other chronic wounds that have not healed in a reasonable amount of time.

Advanced wound care modalities provided by our wound care experts include 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.

“Practicing at a healthcare system that provides state-of-the-art care to patients and families navigating wound care is encouraging,” says Cindy Stanton, Director of Wound Care. “Our team members make every effort to provide excellent care to our patients, and we are thankful to be recognized with these honors.”
