In July 2020, Salem Hospital’s Advanced Wound Center received the Center of Distinction Award from Healogics, Inc, recognizing outstanding clinical outcomes in wound healing rates and patient satisfaction achieved over 12 consecutive months in 2019. During this time, the wound center averaged a 92% healing rate and 96% patient satisfaction rate.

Salem Hospital clinical staff provide highly specialized wound care to patients suffering from diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and other chronic wounds which have not healed in a reasonable amount of time.

The Center of Distinction Award is valid until July 2021 when Healogics Inc. will evaluate the Advanced Wound Center for award renewal based on 2020 performance. Healogics Inc. is the nation’s leading provider of advanced wound care and partners with 600 hospitals nationwide.
