York Hospital Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine is Recognized with Two Prestigious Awards

For the past seven years, York Hospital has been recognized by Healogics®, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services, for making a significant, positive difference in our patients’ lives. York Hospital leadership is honored to announce that this past year, the Wound Healing Center received two distinctive awards from Healogics.

The Robert A. Warriner III Clinical Excellence Award was bestowed on York Hospital’s Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine Center for achieving a Wound Adjusted Comprehensive Healing Rate of 83% or higher from December 2022 to November 2023.

In addition, in 2023 our Wound Center received the President’s Circle Award. This is the most prestigious recognition for centers that achieve clinical and operational excellence. Only centers that meet the following criteria achieve President’s Circle: a Wound Adjusted Comprehensive Healing Rate of greater than or equal to 83% as well as a Calcutta Score greater than or equal to 78. Calcutta Reports provide a series of clinical and administrative metrics that can be benchmarked against all Wound Care Centers in the Healogics network to easily identify program gaps and quickly develop actionable improvement plans.

According to York Hospital President and CEO Dr. Patrick A. Taylor, “Two honors from Healogics in the same year is an incredibly important achievement for the Wound Care Center at York Hospital. It clearly demonstrates our caregivers’ commitment to excellence and our focus on creating an exceptional patient experience.”

York Hospital Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine is a member of the Healogics network of over 600 Wound Care Centers® and offers highly specialized wound care to patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and other chronic wounds.
