Stormont Vail Health Wound Care Earns Center of Distinction Recognition

The Stormont Vail Wound Care Center recently earned a Center of Distinction recognition from Healogics for five consecutive years. The Center achieved outstanding clinical outcomes for twelve consecutive months, including patient satisfaction and a wound healing rate higher than 92 percent.

In 2021, 245 providers referred patients to the Wound Care Center, 954 new patients were seen, and more than 6,000 wound assessments were performed.

“Through our partnerships with community providers, our goal is to reach patients requiring advanced wound care services,” said Karen Conley, program director. “Earning this recognition for five years in a row signifies the commitment our Would Center team has to heal patients and provide excellent patient satisfaction.”

The Center opened in 2004 and offers leading-edge treatments such as compression therapy, debridements, cellular and tissue-based products, negative-pressure wound therapy, pressure off-loading devices and footwear, and total contact casting. The Center also offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which works by surrounding the patient with 100 percent oxygen to help progress the healing of the wound. Providers practicing at the center are Mitchell Bartley, DO; Christopher Brodine, DPM, CWS; Bita Haji Zadeh, M.D.; Robert Holmes, M.D., CWS; Michael Smith, M.D.; and Donnett Streeter, APRN.
