    Vohra Wound Physicians Awarded Grant by New Mexico’s Department of Health to Certify 37 Nurses in Wound Care

    BALTIMORE, Feb. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vohra Wound Care has been awarded a Civil Money Penalty grant by New Mexico’s Department of Health. The grant will improve the care of New Mexico’s nursing home residents by training nurses about prevention, assessment and management of wounds in the nursing home setting. The $39,978 award is made possible through the reinvestment of civil money penalties that were issued to New Mexico nursing homes. This funding provides support for 37 nurses to become certified in wound care through the Vohra Wound Care Nurse certification program. Nurses from eligible facilities who complete this program will be awarded the credential of VWCN™, an industry-leading certification specific to wound care of the nursing home resident.

    Based on over 20 years of experience caring for patients in nursing homes, Vohra Wound Physicians created this wound care certification program.
