Saint Mary’s Hospital is proud to announce that the Wound Healing Center celebrated 20 years of service on April 5, 2025. The Center has been awarded the prestigious Center of Distinction numerous times by Healogics, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services. This recognition includes a patient satisfaction rate higher than 92 percent and is a testament to the exceptional care and dedication demonstrated by the Center’s physicians, nurses and ancillary staff.
Peter Jacoby, M.D., and staff celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Wound Healing Center.
Saint Mary’s Wound Healing Center, established in 2005, is a member of the Healogics network of over 600 Wound Care Centers and offers highly specialized wound care to patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and other chronic wounds which have not healed in a reasonable amount of time. Since it’s opening, the Wound Healing Center has touched the lives of over 100,000 patients.
“I’m very proud of the work we are doing in the Wound Healing Center,” said Peter Jacoby, M.D., medical director of the Center. “We’re focused on utilizing cutting edge treatments and therapies, as well as proven techniques and procedures to ensure our patients are receiving the best care possible, because ultimately they are our priority.”
Advanced wound care modalities provided by our wound care experts include negative pressure wound therapy, total contact casting, bio-engineered tissues, biosynthetic dressings and growth factor therapies. Saint Mary’s Wound Healing Center also offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which works by surrounding the patient with 100 percent oxygen to help accelerate wound healing.
“Our dedicated team of providers, nurses and support staff provides holistic, compassionate care,” said Lisa Retallick, RN, Clinical Program Director. “We see our patients sometimes daily for several weeks, they become part of our family. Their care is our number one priority.”
