The Columbus Regional Health Wound Center has been recognized with a national award for top clinical excellence. 
   
    Healogics, the nation's largest provider of advanced wound care services, awarded the Wound Center with its President’s Circle distinction. The Wound Center achieved this recognition through outstanding clinical outcomes for 12 consecutive months, including patient satisfaction higher than 92 percent, and a minimum wound healing rate of at least 92 percent within 28 median days to heal. This is the fourth year in a row the Wound Center has received national recognition, and the first year to achieve the top award of President's Circle. Additional criteria to receive the President Circle status measures affordable, efficient care and data tracking.
