Our Wound Care Department provides specialized services to meet the needs of patients with chronic and complex wounds that require expert attention. Our team delivers comprehensive wound evaluation and treatment across both inpatient and outpatient care environments, addressing wounds that are often resistant to conventional treatment.
Poorly managed wounds can lead to serious complications, including infection, hospitalization, or impaired quality of life. Our multidisciplinary approach focuses on evidence-based wound management, early intervention, and personalized treatment plans that promote healing and improve long-term outcomes.

Our Team
The Wound Care team provides expert assessment, treatment, and prevention of wounds while working collaboratively with referring providers, surgeons, nursing, rehabilitation, and other departments to ensure timely and coordinated care from hospital stay through recovery.
