Summit Care Inn of La Grange serves a relatively small, rural community in Texas, but sees its share of wound care. They partnered with Vohra Wound Care and were provided an expert wound care Physician, Dr. Ghosh, who not only partnered with them to heal patients but also helped educate the entire nursing team. Within a few months, Summit was able to apply to become a Center of Excellence in Wound Management, meaning they met strict standards of wound healing and care. This accomplishment was recognized by the local community and featured in local media. Summit Care Inn of La Grange has established them as a niche provider with the skills and partners needed to admit and care for complex wound patients.
The leadership team emphasized how important this was to them, and how much it helps their patients to have an expert physician from Vohra and the Vohra program supporting them:
“We here at Summit Care Inn of La Grange, take pride in the residents we have, the staff who deliver exceptional care and the partnership with Vohra Physicians and their Wound Care Specialist”.
