The Wound Healing Center at Marion Regional Healthcare System has received national attention for its performance during the last quarter of 2008.
During its annual meeting in Orlando, the National Healing Center recognized Marion County’s Wound Healing Center with its prestigious "Front Runner Award." Accepting the award was Medical Director Parakkat Krishnan and Program Director Sue Rudnicki.
“We are extremely pleased to receive this honor,” Krishnan said. "It speaks highly of not only our Center but those dedicated professionals who work with, and for, our patients.” The Wound Healing Center at Marion Regional Healthcare System was one of 26 centers of 150, to receive the honor, a press release about the award said.
“To be in the top 17 percent is impressive,” said Gene Tucker, president and CEO of MRHS. “We competed with large and well-established facilities. This achievement speaks of the need of such a center here in Marion County and of the strong leadership provided by both Dr. Krishnan and Ms. Rudnicki.”
In operation since the fall of 2008, The Wound Healing Center is on U.S. Highway 76 between Marion and Mullins. A National Healing Corporation Wound Center, it specializes in the treatment of chronic wounds and non-responsive conditions and offers hospital-based outpatient wound care and hyperbaric oxygen therapy as well as disease management and diabetes care.
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has awarded National Healing Corporation Disease-Specific Care Certification for wound care.
