Memorial Hospital receives recertification, offers scholarships
Memorial Hospital’s Wound Care Center in Huntingburg announced that it has again earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Wound Care Certification. The Gold Seal of Approval® is a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to providing safe and effective patient care. The Wound Care Center became the first in the state of Indiana to be awarded The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for wound care with its original certification in 2013.
The Wound Care Center underwent a rigorous on-site review on November 16. Joint Commission experts evaluated compliance with national disease-specific care standards as well as with wound care-specific requirements. Clinical practice guidelines and performance measures also were assessed.
“Memorial Hospital’s Wound Care Center has thoroughly demonstrated a high level of care for patients with wounds,” said Patrick Phelan, executive director, Hospital Business Development, The Joint Commission. “We commend the Wound Care Center for becoming a leader in wound care, potentially providing a higher standard of service for wound care patients in its community.”
