COZAD COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEM ADDS ANOTHER BOARD CERTIFIED WOUND CARE SPECIALIST

Thursday, December 21, 2017

Kimberly Bartruff, RN, BSN, WCC of the Cozad Community Health System has recently passed her board certification testing for wound care. Bartruff attended Mid-Plains Community College and received her Associate Degree in Nursing  (ADN) in 2013. In 2016 she attended Bryan College of Health Sciences and received her Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN).

Bartruff has always had an interest in wounds; she especially likes seeing wounds heal allowing her patients to go back to their normal daily routines and lives. She attended wound care training in Denver, CO in October this year. Bartruff learned a wide variety at her training. She learned about the different types of dressings and what each is best used for on certain wounds, as well as how to distinguish different types of wounds.

Bartruff passed the national exam to become a Board Certified Wound Care Specialist the end of October through the National Alliance of Wound Care and Ostomy. She joins colleagues Jillian Reynolds, RN, WCC, DWC; Robert Dyer, PT, DPT, OCS, WCC and Amanda Standage, RN, BSN, WCC all of the Cozad Community Health System. Bartruff and Reynolds both visit homebound wound care patients through Central Plains Home Health and Hospice.

Cozad Community Health System is proud to have four Board Certified Wound Care Specialists.
