“Being named a recipient for ‘Center of Distinction’ by Healogics is extremely rewarding,” says Leslie Schwab, RN, MSN, Program Director for the Logansport Memorial Wound Care Center. “We would not have achieved this distinction without the visionary support from the Logansport Memorial Executive Team and the exceptional care delivered by our staff and team of multi-disciplinary providers in the Wound Care Center. The partnership between LMH and Healogics has brought the expertise, experience, and resources needed for top-tier wound care directly to the community where patients can benefit from highly specialized care close to home.
