LRMC wound care center recognized for service

LEESBURG — Leesburg Regional Medical Center's Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center was recently honored with the Center of Distinction Award from Healogics.

The award was given in recognition of the center’s clinical outcomes, high patient satisfaction and high healing rate. Only 423 centers nationwide achieved this honor.

“This award is an affirmation of the great care and service provided to our patients at the LRMC Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center,” said Bill Pfingsten, vice president of ambulatory services at Central Florida Health, in a press release. “Congratulations to our physicians and staff for this prestigious accomplishment.”

The Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center offers highly specialized care to patients suffering from diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and other chronic wounds that have not healed in a reasonable amount of time. Treatments include negative pressure wound therapy, total contact casting, bio-engineered tissues, biosynthetic dressings and growth factor therapies. 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.

“We are honored to be recognized for our dedication to patient care and quality outcomes,” said Dr. Navin Reddy, medical director of the Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center. “We strive to provide each patient with the necessary advanced therapies for optimal healing.”
