The Central Carolina Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center has received two national awards for its work in clinical excellence, patient satisfaction, and wound healing rates for 2024. The recognition comes from Healogics, which is the largest provider of advanced wound care services in the United States.
This marks the second year in a row that the center has received the Robert Warriner Clinical Excellence Award, and the third consecutive year it has earned the Center of Distinction award.
“Our Wound Care Center is rightfully well known for its clinical excellence and patient satisfaction,” said Dave Santoemma, CEO of Central Carolina Hospital. “These awards only serve to reinforce what we and many residents of Lee, Harnett, Chatham and Moore counties already know: that we provide outstanding wound care services.”
Santoemma also highlighted the dedication of providers Rebecca Martinez, AGNP-C, Ajay Ajmani, MD, and Todd Sommer, DO, noting their commitment to helping every patient who seeks care at the center.
Since opening in 2015, the center has provided specialized treatment for patients with chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections, and other wounds that have not healed within a reasonable timeframe. The team uses advanced therapies including negative pressure wound therapy, total contact casting, bio-engineered tissues, biosynthetic dressings, and growth factor treatments. The center also offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy to help promote healing by exposing patients to pure oxygen.
“We are proud to receive this third consecutive year of national recognition for delivering quality care to our patients,” said Dellena Sellars, Program Director. “Our entire team of nurses, advanced practitioners and physicians achieves clinical outcomes that give every patient the opportunity to help their chronic wounds and reclaim their quality of life.”
The Central Carolina Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center is part of a network of more than 600 centers across the country affiliated with Healogics. More information about services can be found on their website at https://www.centralcarolinahosp.com/wound-care.
