Wound Center receives national recognition

Columbus Regional Health Wound Center is proud to be a recipient of the 2021 Center of Distinction award by Healogics, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services.

 

The Center achieved outstanding clinical outcomes for twelve consecutive months, including top decile in patient satisfaction and healing rate. The Wound Center team treats more than 8,000 wound encounters annually. The Wound Center has a diverse provider panel including Family and Internal Medicine, Physiatry, Vascular Surgery and Podiatry, offering highly specialized wound care to patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and other chronic wounds which have not healed in a reasonable amount of time.

 

Advanced wound care treatments provided by the 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.

Vivian White joined CRH 23 years ago after working in her local school system while raising four sons. When her youngest son was a senior in high school, she started studying for her Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) degree. Upon earning her ASN, she applied to CRH. “Columbus Regional took me under their wing when I had no experience. They oriented me, and they made me the nurse that I am now,” Vivian said.
