JAMESTOWN, N.D. (JRMC) – Healogics recently recognized Jamestown Regional Medical Center’s Wound & Hyperbarics Clinic as heal-rate champion.

JRMC’s Wound & Hyperbaric Center manages wounds that will not heal.

Healogics partners with JRMC’s Wound Center to provide advanced wound care. Without proper treatment patients may suffer for years without any improvement, or even worse, may face amputation. To provide that care, Healogics measures Comprehensive Heal Rate (CHR). CHR is the number of days it takes a wound to heal. CHR is the rate at which a wound heals.

In the most recent quarter, the JRMC team made the greatest improvement in their healing rate from any other Healogics clinics in the Western Division.

“This award is an honor because it shows, as a team, we are dedicated to healing patients as quickly as possible so they can get back to their normal daily living,” said Holli Marquart, APRN, CNP.

This year, Healogics also named the JRMC Wound Clinic a Center of Distinction. JRMC received the distinction because of its high patient satisfaction and heal rates. In JRMC’s case: 92% of patients reported they were satisfied with their care. Also, 92% of patients healed in 21 days or less.

The JRMC Wound & Hyperbaric Center understands the challenges faced each day when it comes to chronic and non-chronic healing wounds. The center offers cutting-edge treatments, the highest quality of dedicated providers and specialists and the ability to work with dressing formularies – all to help wounds heal faster.

Healogics partners with 700 Wound Care Centers like JRMC across the nation. Healogics and its partners treat more than 300,000 patients annually. In 20 years, Healogics has healed more than 4 million wounds. In 2020 alone, JRMC’s Wound Center healed more than 100 individuals.

Despite the challenges this year, JRMC worked hard to provide legendary care for patients.
“We are proud of the wound team,” said Trisha Jungles, JRMC Chief Nursing Officer. “The Wound Center is one of the reasons JRMC remains a destination for care in the state.”

JRMC and Healogics intend to heal every wound seen in the center.

“This is such a fantastic achievement and really goes to show the work done to assure patients receive the healing care they need,” said Andria Roberts, Healogics’ Clinical Director of Operations.
