Helping chronic wounds heal faster to improve quality of life. 

Approximately 8 million people in the U.S. live with chronic wounds, more than the number of people with breast, colon and lung cancers combined. These wounds, which persist and won’t heal, often are caused by diseases like diabetes that affect blood circulation. Chronic wounds also may occur in people who use wheelchairs or are bedridden.

Our wound care team may include doctors, wound care specialty nurses, physical therapists and other experts. We provide advanced treatments to accelerate healing and manage troublesome wounds.
