The Wound Care & Hyperbaric Center at Broward Health Coral Springs (BHCS) has been recognized for the seventh consecutive year with the Robert A. Warriner III, M.D., Center of Excellence award from Healogics, the nation's largest provider of advanced wound care services. The award is named for Dr. Robert A. Warriner III, a pioneer in wound care and the former chief medical officer for Healogics.
“Broward Health is dedicated to providing advanced wound care for the community and we are proud to consistently receive this prestigious recognition from Healogics,” said Broward Health President/CEO Beverly Capasso. “This is a wonderful achievement for our wound care team and we are committed to improving the quality of life for patients suffering from non-healing wounds.”
