RestorixHealth Announces Center Recognition Award Recipients for January–June 2026
RestorixHealth, a wound care solutions company focused on improving outcomes for patients with complex and chronic wounds, has announced the recipients of its Center Recognition Awards for the January–June 2026 awards period. The program recognizes wound care and hyperbaric centers that demonstrate sustained performance across clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction and, for the highest level of recognition, operational excellence.
The awards are designed to highlight centers and clinical teams that consistently work toward delivering high-quality patient care while improving healing outcomes and the overall patient experience. By recognizing measurable performance over a six-month period, RestorixHealth aims to spotlight teams that demonstrate a strong commitment to evidence-based wound management, patient safety and continuous improvement.
According to RestorixHealth, the recognition program reflects the organization’s broader emphasis on using data and performance benchmarks to support quality improvement throughout its affiliated network of wound care and hyperbaric centers.
Recognition Based on Clinical and Patient-Care Performance
The Center Recognition Awards evaluate eligible centers against a range of demanding performance indicators. Among the key benchmarks used during the January–June 2026 awards period were a median healing time of 32 days, a 92% healing rate and a 96% patient satisfaction score, along with additional clinical and operational measures.
These benchmarks provide a framework for evaluating performance across multiple dimensions of wound care. Clinical outcomes are particularly important in wound management because healing can be affected by a wide range of factors, including the complexity and duration of a wound, underlying medical conditions and the patient’s overall health.
At the same time, patient satisfaction provides another perspective on care quality. Communication, accessibility, consistency, coordination among members of the care team and the patient’s understanding of their treatment can all influence the experience of receiving wound care.
RestorixHealth has established four recognition categories for eligible centers during the awards period. Each category reflects a different level or combination of performance achievements.
Excellence in Patient Satisfaction Award
The Excellence in Patient Satisfaction Award recognizes centers that demonstrate superior performance in overall patient satisfaction results.
Patient experience is an important component of healthcare quality, particularly for individuals who may require ongoing treatment for wounds that take weeks or months to heal. Repeated visits, wound assessments, procedures and other aspects of treatment can make the care experience an important part of a patient’s recovery journey.
Through this award category, RestorixHealth recognizes centers that have achieved strong results in how patients perceive and experience the care they receive.
The recognition also reinforces the role of patient-centered care alongside clinical performance. While successful wound healing remains a central objective, creating a positive and supportive care environment can contribute to patient engagement and confidence throughout treatment.
Clinical Distinction Award
The Clinical Distinction Award recognizes centers that have demonstrated exceptional clinical performance by meeting or exceeding established benchmarks.
The award focuses on measurable clinical outcomes and recognizes teams that have achieved strong results in wound healing and related areas of patient care.
Meeting clinical benchmarks can require consistent implementation of treatment protocols, careful patient assessment, appropriate use of advanced therapies and close monitoring of healing progress. For wound care teams, maintaining consistency across these areas is particularly important because many patients present with complicated wounds or multiple underlying conditions.
The Clinical Distinction Award therefore provides recognition for centers that have demonstrated the ability to achieve strong outcomes within RestorixHealth’s established performance framework.
Dual Award Recognition
Centers that meet or exceed benchmarks for both patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes receive Dual Award recognition.
This category reflects the importance of balancing measurable medical outcomes with the patient experience. A center may achieve strong healing results while also ensuring that patients receive compassionate, responsive and coordinated care.
The Dual Award recognizes teams that demonstrate success in both dimensions during the six-month evaluation period. It highlights the connection between clinical quality and patient-centered care and provides another way for RestorixHealth to acknowledge centers achieving consistently strong performance.
Center of Excellence Award
The Center of Excellence Award represents RestorixHealth’s highest level of recognition within the program.
This award is presented to centers that demonstrate exceptional success by meeting or exceeding benchmarks across clinical, operational and patient satisfaction measures.
The broader criteria distinguish the Center of Excellence Award from recognition based solely on clinical outcomes or patient satisfaction. In addition to delivering strong patient outcomes and maintaining a positive patient experience, recipients must demonstrate performance across operational measures.
Operational effectiveness can be important in wound care because patients often require coordinated services over an extended period. Effective processes can help care teams manage appointments, documentation, treatment plans, follow-up and communication while maintaining consistent standards of care.
By bringing clinical, operational and patient satisfaction measures together, the Center of Excellence designation recognizes centers demonstrating performance across multiple areas of healthcare delivery.
Commitment to Quality and Patient Safety
Katy Pierce, National Director of Clinical Quality, Process Improvement & EMR Services for RestorixHealth, said receiving a Center Recognition Award represents a significant achievement for the teams involved.
“Earning a Center Recognition award is a tremendous achievement. These outstanding teams lead by example, raise the bar for quality and patient safety and show what is possible when clinical expertise, teamwork and a shared commitment to exceptional care come together,” Pierce said.
She also congratulated the award recipients and recognized their contribution to patients living with wounds.
Pierce’s comments underscore the role of multidisciplinary collaboration in wound care. Successful treatment can involve physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, technicians and other healthcare professionals working together to assess wounds, monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.
The awards program provides a mechanism for recognizing these teams based on measurable performance rather than individual achievements alone.
Advancing Access to Advanced Wound Care
Ben Dunford, Chief Executive Officer of RestorixHealth, also congratulated the organization’s affiliated centers receiving recognition during the January–June 2026 period.
“I am proud to congratulate our RestorixHealth-affiliated, award-winning centers for their dedication to our partners and patients,” Dunford said. He added that the centers are contributing to efforts to increase access to care and bring advanced wound care services to communities in need.
The comments reflect the broader challenge of ensuring that patients with chronic and complex wounds can access specialized treatment. Wound care may require advanced clinical expertise and specialized technologies, making access to dedicated wound care centers important for patients whose wounds do not respond adequately to routine treatment.
RestorixHealth’s recognition program is positioned within this broader effort to support consistent standards across affiliated centers while encouraging teams to continually evaluate and improve their performance.
Data-Driven Approach to Clinical Best Practices
Dr. William H. Tettelbach, Chief Medical Officer of RestorixHealth, emphasized the role of data in advancing wound care practices and developing care models.
“These recognized centers exemplify not only our responsibility to deliver high quality, consistent care but also the organization’s steadfast commitment to advancing our industry,” Tettelbach said.
He noted that RestorixHealth continues to use data to inform clinical best practices and develop innovative care models incorporating evidence-based therapies and leading-edge technologies.
A data-driven approach can help healthcare organizations identify areas of strong performance as well as opportunities for improvement. In wound care, tracking healing rates, time to healing, patient satisfaction and other performance indicators can provide insight into how treatment strategies and care processes are performing across different settings.
Tettelbach also expressed pride in the teams receiving recognition, highlighting their ongoing work toward helping patients heal safely and efficiently.
Focus on Consistent Patient Outcomes
The January–June 2026 Center Recognition Awards also demonstrate RestorixHealth’s focus on establishing measurable standards for affiliated wound and hyperbaric centers.
The benchmarks associated with the program create common performance targets while allowing individual centers to demonstrate excellence through clinical outcomes, patient experience and operational execution. The approach also reinforces the importance of continuous quality improvement in a specialty where patients may have significant and persistent healthcare needs.
For patients with chronic wounds, timely and effective treatment can be an important component of maintaining mobility, reducing complications and improving quality of life. The ability of specialized wound care teams to identify appropriate treatment strategies, monitor progress and respond to changes can therefore play a significant role in the overall care pathway.
The recognition of centers that consistently meet demanding benchmarks provides visibility into the teams working toward these goals across RestorixHealth’s affiliated network.
Recognition of Teams and Their Contribution to Wound Care
Rather than focusing on a single treatment or technology, the Center Recognition Awards emphasize the combined contribution of clinical expertise, teamwork, operational processes and patient engagement.
The four award categories provide different forms of recognition. Excellence in Patient Satisfaction highlights the patient experience, Clinical Distinction focuses on clinical benchmarks, Dual Award recognition combines the two, and the Center of Excellence Award encompasses clinical, operational and patient satisfaction performance.
Together, the categories illustrate the multiple factors that contribute to quality wound care.
RestorixHealth said the awards recognize the dedication of its affiliated teams and their efforts to provide consistent, high-quality care to patients with wounds. The company also views the program as part of its continuing effort to advance wound care practices through performance measurement, evidence-based approaches and innovation.
The January–June 2026 Center Recognition Awards therefore represent more than a six-month performance assessment. They provide a structured way for RestorixHealth to acknowledge centers demonstrating measurable success while reinforcing the organization’s broader objectives around patient safety, healing outcomes, satisfaction and quality improvement.
