Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Program

Specialized nurses bring state of the art wound products together with up-to-date methods of treatment.

Wound care services include:

• Assessing, evaluating and identifying patients who are at risk or need treatment for: pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, burns, and other trama.
• Consulting with the ordering doctor to select the right treatment for the patient.
• Educating the patient and caregivers to prevent wounds.
• Teaching patients and their caregivers to care for their wounds and how to change a dressing.

Wound care nurses visit patients' homes to monitor wounds closely. They make sure that patients are making positive improvements.
