June is Wound Care Awareness Month, which makes this a good time to highlight Heritage Valley’s three WoundCare Centers. You may need special care when that seemingly normal wound just won’t heal. Sometimes stubborn sores need an extra boost to begin the healing process. While most wounds, minor cuts and scratches heal on their own within two weeks, approximately five to six million people in the United States suffer from chronic non-healing wounds.
There are a variety of reasons why a wound may not heal, including swelling, diabetes, poor circulation, infection, radiation, pressure and nutrition issues. When this happens, specialized care is needed to treat the wound. Plus, people with underlying health conditions could be at risk for more serious issues.
Heritage Valley WoundCare provides patients with advanced outpatient treatment for difficult, non-healing wounds. Our specially trained team offers coordinated care, research-based wound technologies and treatments, and excellent outcomes. We will work with your primary care or referring physician to develop a treatment plan to heal your wound.
Many types of wounds are treated at our centers, including:
- Arterial Ulcers
- Burns
- Diabetic Ulcers
- Pressure Ulcers
- Radiation-Related (Including skin, bone, bladder & intestinal injuries)
- Surgical Wounds
- Trauma
- Vasculitis
