PERU - The Illinois Valley Community Hospital Wound and Hyperbaric Center has again been recognized with a national award for excellence in wound healing by Healogics, the nation’s leading wound care management company.
This is the second year in a row the IVCH wound center has received Healogics’ Center of Excellence Award for achieving outstanding clinical outcomes.
Criteria for earning the award include achieving a wound healing rate for the center’s patients of at least 91 percent in less than 30 median days for two consecutive years and having a patient satisfaction score higher than 92 percent.
“This recognition is given to wound centers that exceed expectations on certain key clinical performance indicators. Our wound center staff and physicians have been doing a great job,” said Tommy Hobbs, IVCH chief executive officer.
IVCH opened the wound center in 2013 to provide care for chronic and slow-healing wounds. The IVCH center is the only wound clinic along the I-80 corridor in Illinois that offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Dr. Tom Curry is the wound center’s medical director. Other doctors on the physician panel include Dr. Hussein Zaioor and Dr. Larry Ketner.
