Leaders in Healing Care

Congratulations to our GreatPeople, Tracy Gates, Nanette Velasco, Joanna Sepe (Orchard Court), and Kate del Rosario (Blomidon Court) for completing the 80-hour Wound Care Champion Program. This intensive program equips healthcare professionals with the skills to prevent and treat wounds, ensuring they can provide the highest level of care to residents.

A pressure injury, or wound, is an injury to the skin or underlying tissue, usually over a bony area of the body. They’re caused by pressure or friction, so people who live in long term care communities are often susceptible. With the knowledge gained from their training, these team members are now better prepared to lead change among others on their teams and ensure residents receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based wound care.

This achievement will directly impact the quality of care we provide, enhance the comfort and healing of residents, and reflects our commitment to skill development and improving resident care.
