Sumner Regional Medical Center hosted an open house and reception to recognize their team of dedicated providers and specialized clinical areas of their outpatient wound care clinic after being nationally recognized as a Center of Distinction by Healogics--a network of over 600 care centers providing specialized wound care to patients across the country. The Gallatin center was recognized for achieving outstanding clinical outcomes for twelve consecutive months, including a patient satisfaction rate higher than 92%.
In attendance was Gallatin resident, Leisa Mann, who, under the care of the clinic team following a foot injury, received a graft, hours of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and specialized care in which the clinic team was able to save her foot and help her regain function.
"This is the fourth year in a row that the center has been recognized as a Center of Distinction," says Dr. Brandon Mewbourne, general surgeon and medical director for the program. "We all come to work wanting to do excellent patient care and put our patients first; this is a validation of the efforts."
