Millions of Americans suffer from chronic wounds caused by diabetes, poor circulation
or other conditions. Evangelical’s Wound Care Center is dedicated to healing troublesome wounds. Together with you and your primary care physician, our team of specialists offers hope for wounds that won’t heal.
Our team is not just about the physicians and nurses. You will have access to a nutritionist, a diabetes educator and a vascular specialist. It’s all conveniently located under one roof. If you have a wound that has not shown improvement in more than one month or healed entirely in two months, you should ask your doctor about Evangelical’s Wound Care Center.
If a non-healing wound keeps you from the things you like to do, then we can help you get your life back. You are a vital part of your treatment program because much of the success of your wound treatment plan depends on your participation. You will need to keep your appointments, follow directions carefully and watch your progress closely between visits.
While the Wound Care Center focuses on the treatment of the wound, medical care is directed to the causes of the wound. The surgeons work with your primary care physician to comprehensively manage your wound and health conditions. You will continue to see your regular physician for all routine medical care. We will keep your doctor informed of your treatment plan and progress.
