Pizzute rejoins hospital as director

Wooster Community Hospital recently welcomed back Monique Pizzute as the director of the WCH Hyperbaric Medicine & Wound Healing Center. In this role she will oversee general facility operations, raise community awareness of the services and help the facility’s upcoming relocation.

The wound healing center will move into a new facility later in 2024. Construction began in January at 1685 Cleveland Road in Wooster.

“We’re excited to welcome Monique back to lead the wound healing team,” said Shelly Huff, WCH vice president of patient services/CNO. “She brings invaluable knowledge and experience, and we’re thrilled to have her here to further enhance our wound healing and hyperbaric program.”

Pizzute received her B.S. with a concentration in long-term care administration and a master’s degree in business administration from Kent State University. She has a background in gerontology and has previously worked in wound healing and hyperbaric medicine, long-term care, skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care facilities.

“It is exciting to be returning to Wooster Community Hospital and the wound healing center. I have truly missed my time here, and I’m thrilled to be working in such a great community again,” Pizzute said. “Our experienced providers offer effective, compassionate services that really make a difference in patients’ lives. We look forward to continuing our commitment to excellence in our new facility later this year.”
