At our wound care centers, each patient is evaluated to find any medical conditions that might block the natural healing process. Our wound care physicians then coordinate your treatment with your primary care physician, understanding that wounds often require complex and long-term treatment. By having specialists help care for your wound; your physician is able to spend more time on other aspects of your care. Results and updates are given directly to your physician, home health agency, nursing home or extended care facility.

In addition to treatment for your non-healing wound, the Saint Joseph Wound Center's staff provides recommendations on how to care for wounds at home.
