Wound Healing Center

Designed to treat acute and chronic, non-healing wounds, the Wound Healing Center is comprised of well trained wound care professionals including physician specialists, registered nurses, registered dietitian and support staff. Our certified wound care experts have been helping to heal wounds in our communities since 2003.

Our nurses are board certified by the Wound Ostomy Continence Nursing Certification Board, the National Alliance of Wound Care. This mark of excellence ensures that a nurse is knowledgeable and qualified to provide you with the right kind of care. It means we have gone the extra mile to specialize in the care of patients with wounds, ostomies, or continence disorders.

The primary responsibilities of our nursing staff are to coordinate, evaluate, and direct patient care, consultations, staff and patient education, and to oversee maintenance of an evidence-based practice.

Recommendations for care management are evidence-based, cost effective, and individualized for the specific patient situation.
