                          Friday, May 13, 2016

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Wound Care Center 
at Carolinas HealthCare System NorthEast, located in Concord, North 
Carolina, for earning the Robert A. Warriner III, M.D., Center of 
Excellence award from Healogics. The dedicated team at the Wound Care 
Center should take pride in this significant achievement, and the 
people of Cabarrus County should take comfort in knowing they have such 
a distinguished group of individuals providing high-quality healthcare 
in our community.
  The Wound Care Center opened its doors in July of 2012, and has been 
providing excellent care to the people of our area ever since. In order 
to earn the Robert A. Warriner III, M.D., Center of Excellence award, 
the Wound Care Center had to achieve an average patient satisfaction 
rating of 92 percent, as well as a healing rate of at least 91 percent 
within a 30-day period. In addition to reaching these high standards, 
the Wound Care Center had to maintain their performance over a 12-month 
period. Earning this award is truly a reflection of the staff at the 
Wound Care Center who are able to provide such exceptional service on a 
consistent basis.
  What is even more impressive is the fact that this is the third 
consecutive year the Wound Care Center has earned this honor, which is 
an astonishing feat. By continuing to focus on the patients they are 
serving, the Wound Care Center at Carolinas HealthCare System NorthEast 
is able to continually provide the highest quality of care and customer 
satisfaction in the field of wound healing. Each member of the team is 
fully invested in developing a personal connection with patients on 
their road to recovery. This patient-centered approach should be 
championed as a model for all medical centers in North Carolina and 
across the country. With nearly six million people affected by problem 
wounds across the country at any given time, wound care centers remain 
an important part of our health care system. There is no doubt in my 
mind that Wound Care Center at Carolinas HealthCare System NorthEast 
will continue to be a leader in this crucial field.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in congratulating the entire team 
at the Wound Care Center at Carolinas HealthCare System NorthEast for 
earning the Robert A. Warriner III, M.D., Center of Excellence award.
