Centralus Health is proud to announce that the Cayuga Center for Wound Healing has received the Robert A. Warriner III, M.D., Clinical Excellence Award from Healogics®, a provider of advanced wound care services. This distinction places the Center in the top 10 percent of eligible Healogics Wound Care Centers® nationwide, based on its outstanding clinical outcomes and patient care.

The award recognizes the Center’s exceptional Comprehensive Healing Rate, adjusted for wound mix, which reflects the team’s effectiveness in treating complex and chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections, and more. The Cayuga Center for Wound Healing is one of more than 600 Healogics-affiliated Wound Care Centers® nationwide and has become a regional leader in specialized wound treatment and hyperbaric medicine.

“This achievement is the result of the dedicated efforts of our team over the past three years, who have consistently focused on improving patient care and outcomes,” said Andreia De Lima, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Cayuga Health. “Their expertise and commitment to excellence have been instrumental in making a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.”

Cayuga Health and Arnot Health, affiliated under the Centralus Health system, provide care to between 10,000 and 13,000 patients annually at their Healogics-affiliated wound healing centers, delivering this vital care across the region.

Both Wound Care Centers provide a range of advanced wound care therapies, including negative pressure wound therapy, total contact casting, bio-engineered tissues, biosynthetic dressings, and growth factor therapies. In addition, the centers offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy, an advanced treatment that delivers 100 percent oxygen in a pressurized environment to promote wound healing.

Centralus Health is proud to provide access to high-quality wound care through these partnerships with Healogics, ensuring that patients in the Finger Lakes, Southern Tier, and Central New York communities receive the most advanced and compassionate care possible.
