Open since March 2016, Baptist Health Wound Care achieved outstanding clinical outcomes for 12 consecutive months, including patient satisfaction higher than 92 percent, and a minimum wound healing rate of at least 91 percent within 30 median days to heal. There were 413 Centers eligible for the Center of Excellence award, but only 29 achieved this specific honor.
“We are so pleased with the level of commitment provided by this department and with the services it provides to our patients,” said Chris Roty, Baptist Health Paducah resident. “As one of only 29 wound care centers in the entire country to earn the President’s Circle Center of Excellence, I am very proud of the dedication to quality care Baptist Health Wound Care provides.”
