Warriner Center of Excellence Award, recognizing centers that have received the Center of Distinction Award for three consecutive years (2012, 2013 and 2014).
This award is a great honor and is attributed to the outstanding clinical care that patients receive. The Physicians and Nurses here at the Wound Center are extremely compassionate and very knowledge. I frequently receive positive feedback from patients that otherwise might have never healed or in some cases, lost a limb. It is very rewarding to work with such a great group of people stated Anne Sweeney, Program Director, Comprehensive Wound Center at Pardee.
