(Hays, KS) April 5, 2016 –  HaysMed Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Center physicians, leaders and clinicians recently celebrated the Center of Distinction Award, which was given them by Healogics, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services. The Center achieved outstanding clinical outcomes for twelve consecutive months, including patient satisfaction higher than 92 percent, and a minimum wound healing rate of at least 91 percent within 30 median days to heal. There were 512 Centers eligible for the Center of Distinction award, but only 221 achieved the honor.

“It is an honor to receive these awards,” said Terry Siek, RN, Vice President of Patient Care and Chief Nursing Officer at HaysMed.  “The award exemplifies our ongoing commitment to provide outstanding wound care services to our patients here and in Western Kansas.”
