Wound Care

Your Out- Patient Healing Program

On your first visit, your wound and general health will be evaluated and your medical history, current medications and allergies reviewed. You may also need special tests to determine information about blood flow to the wound area. Once your test results are evaluated, an individualized treatment program will be tailored to your needs. You will continue to have regular visits to the center to provide treatment as healing progresses. You will also be given detailed instructions for your care at home.
