Wound care
Wound care involves medical interventions to heal a wound after injury. Specialized treatment is provided for wounds that are nonhealing or refuse to heal on their own. A vital aspect of treatment includes learning how to properly dress and care for a wound.

Wound care and diabetes management
Our statewide patient education programs offer you exceptional diabetes care. Using individualized treatment plans tailored to specific needs and lifestyles, we work closely with you to properly diagnose your condition and then carefully manage your condition through diet counseling, fitness programs, support and education.
We are dedicated to your diabetes-related education and care, in part, because diabetes can lead to serious complications if not treated properly. For example, diabetic foot ulcers may need intensive treatments or even amputation. When you come to us for care, we do everything we can to prevent this. But, if you do need it, we provide services that preserve as much of the affected limb as possible.
