Physicians, leaders, and clinicians at Knox Community Hospital are
proud to announce that The Center for Wound Healing
has been awarded the prestigious Robert A. Warriner III,
M.D., Clinical Excellence Award by Healogics, the nation’s
largest provider of advanced wound care services. This
Center has 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. This award is named for
Dr. Robert A. Warriner III, a pioneer in wound care and
the former Chief Medical Officer for Healogics.
The Center for Wound Healing 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.
Our experts provide advanced wound care modalities, including negative pressure wound therapy, total
contact casting, bio-engineered tissues, biosynthetic dressings, and growth factor therapies. The Center
for Wound Healing also offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which surrounds the patient with 100 percent
oxygen to help accelerate wound healing.
“Being the only wound care center in the county means we serve a critical role,” stated Vicki Kildoo,
Director of the Center for Wound Healing at KCH. “The quality care we provide to patients benefits the
entire community; when wounds are healed, our patients can resume their daily activities and enjoy
productive lives again.”
To receive this award, they have to excel in patient satisfaction at 92% or higher, have a comprehensive
healing rate of 77% or above, and have an outlier rate of 16% or less.
We are so proud of our team for their continued and consistent commitment to excellence and focus on
creating an exceptional patient experience.
