Wound Care

Specialized treatment for chronic and complex wounds that aren't healing.

Our clinicians evaluate and treat diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries, venous stasis wounds, post-surgical complications, burns, and other wounds that are not healing as expected. Care may include wound checks, dressing plans, offloading strategies, debridement when appropriate, referral for advanced wound therapies when needed, and coordination with primary care, podiatry, or specialist care.

Patients and caregivers receive training on wound management between visits, including what signs of infection require immediate attention.

Following recovery instructions at home

Keep wound-care instructions close at home.

Confirm dressing steps, activity limits, warning signs, and the date the wound should be checked again.
