Wound Healing Center Among Nation’s Best For patients seeking premium wound care, there are only three centers in the western half of the country who are President’s Circle award winners.

What’s more impressive is this – it’s the third time in the last four years the Marshalltown clinic has received this exclusive President’s Circle honor.

Two of those clinics are in California and Oregon.

“We are grateful for the support from UnityPoint Health and Healogics, which allows our center to provide advanced wound healing measures to Marshalltown and the surrounding communities,” said Tia Bacon, clinical program director. “I would like to thank our wound healing team for providing outstanding, compassionate and dedicated care to our patients and their families.”

And for those of us in Marshalltown, the other is in our back yard. The wound healing center at UnityPoint Health – Marshalltown was recognized earlier this year with the prestigious President’s Circle status by Healogics, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services. The award was the result of outstanding clinical excellence in patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. As of spring, the Marshalltown center had achieved outstanding clinical outcomes for 12 consecutive months, which consisted of a 97% healing rate, 95% patient satisfaction rate and 17 median days to heal.
