Bothwell Wound Healing Center earns three national awards for clinical excellence

Bothwell Wound Healing Center has again earned top honors from Healogics, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services, receiving the 2025 President’s Circle award alongside the Center of Distinction and Robert A. Warriner III, Clinical Excellence awards.

Bothwell Wound Healing Center is a member of the Healogics network of wound care centers. The three awards reflect the center’s achievement of rigorous benchmarks for patient satisfaction and wound healing outcomes. Of more than 600 Healogics wound centers across the United States, only 35 received the President’s Circle distinction in 2025.

Bothwell exceeded several key performance indicators to qualify for the awards, including achieving a patient satisfaction score of 94.35 percent and a wound healing rate of 86.47 percent. The center also scored 89 out of 100 on the Calcutta Report, a quarterly composite measure that factors in clinical outcomes, supply costs and net revenue, against a required minimum of 83.

Since 2015, the center has earned annual recognition from Healogics for clinical excellence, including the President’s Circle award, the highest honor, in 2023 and 2025.

Lori Wightman, Bothwell Regional Health Center CEO, said the results reflect a team that holds itself to a high standard every day.

“The Bothwell Wound Healing Center team sets a remarkable example of what dedication to patient care looks like,” Wightman said. “To be recognized among the top wound care centers in the country, not once but twice, is a testament to the skill and compassion this team brings to their patients every day. We are incredibly proud of them.”

Dr. Jeff Wadley, Dr. Trevor Beckham, Dr. Stuart Braverman and Nurse Practitioner Gail Meyer provide highly specialized wound care to patients with diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and other chronic wounds that have not healed in a reasonable amount of time.

Advanced wound care treatments offered by the team 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 surrounds the patient with 100 percent oxygen to support and accelerate wound healing.

Christy Goalder, RN, Wound Healing Center director, said earning the award a second time is a reflection of her team’s daily commitment to patients.

“I am so proud of this team. Earning the President’s Circle award twice in three years is no small feat,” she said. “Every patient who walks through our door deserves exceptional care, and that’s exactly what our team strives to deliver. High healing rates and high patient satisfaction don’t happen by accident. They are the result of people who show up every day committed to doing their very best for their patients.”

Each patient is paired with a case manager to ensure their needs are met, including testing, medications and home care. The team also works closely with patients’ primary care providers throughout the healing process.
