Dr. David Arnold joins Trinity Wound Care team November 10, 2009

The Trinity Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine is pleased to announce that general surgeon David Arnold, DO, has joined its treatment team. Dr. Arnold currently sees patients at Trinity’s 7th Street Campus in Moline on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. He also practices during a Saturday clinic at Trinity at Terrace Park in Bettendorf to accommodate Iowa patients or those who can not schedule appointments during the work week. Dr. Arnold has been a board-certified general surgeon since 1980, specializing in wound care treatment since 1995. He holds certifications from the American Board of Osteopathic Surgeons, the American Board of Hyperbaric Medicine and is a Certified Wound Specialist by the American Academy of Wound Management. He also is a Fellow in both the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons and the American Professional Wound Care Association. “Dr. Arnold comes to us with a solid reputation in the medical community as a top notch physician that has many years experience in chronic wound care and surgery,” said Tim Raymon, Program Director for Trinity Wound Care Centers. “Having a surgeon with this level of experience is a great addition to the Trinity team.” Trinity Wound Care Centers provide specialized treatments that heal diabetic foot, venous stasis and pressure ulcers as well many other types of wounds that do not respond to normal medical care within 30 days. The variety and complexity of chronic wounds requires specialized care. Eight million Americans suffer from chronic wounds. With an aging population, increase in diabetes, and obesity epidemic, more people are incurring hard-to-heal wounds and are at risk for amputations. In June 2009 Diversified Clinical Services, Inc. (DCS) presented its Center of Distinction Award to the Trinity at Terrace Park Wound Care Center and its team because of the center’s high patient satisfaction, exceptional healing rates and outstanding clinical outcomes. Of 285 hospitals, Terrace Park’s center is one of only 14 nationwide that met or exceeded the stringent award requirements. Healing as many as 92 percent of its patients’ wounds in as few as 35 days, the Trinity at Terrace Park Wound Care Center has maintained outstanding clinical outcomes for the past 12 months while patient satisfaction rates reached as high as 98 percent. Trinity’s 7th Street clinic achieved the same distinction in August for having 12 consecutive months of above average healing outcomes. Treatment at the center is by physician referral or self-referral. Contact (563) 742-5100 for more information or an appointment. -#-
