Chronic Wound Care
For wounds that haven't made meaningful progress in 30 days or more. We assess what's stalling healing — circulation, infection, pressure, or nutrition — and build a focused plan to close it.
Our Treatments
Specialty Wound Care for Complex, Slow-Healing Wounds
Five focused treatment programs, one experienced team. Each plan is built around your specific wound, your health history, and your goals.
Diabetic Wound Care
Specialized care for diabetes-related wounds, especially on the feet. Early, focused treatment is the single biggest factor in preventing diabetic foot wounds from becoming serious complications.
Post-Surgical Wound Care
For surgical incisions that have opened, drained, or failed to fully close. We coordinate with your surgeon and build a plan to get the wound back on track without restarting from scratch.
Pressure Injury Care
For bedsores and pressure ulcers at any stage. Treatment combines wound care with offloading, repositioning, and surface recommendations — and we work with caregivers and home health.
Advanced Wound Therapy
When standard treatment isn't enough. Bioengineered skin substitutes, negative pressure wound therapy, and other advanced modalities — chosen for the specific wound, not used by default.
Ostomy Care
Surgeon-led stoma evaluation, peristomal skin and wound management, complication care, and pre-reversal optimization — coordinated with your existing surgical team.
About the Condition
What Is Chronic Wound Disease?
When a wound hasn't closed in 30 days or more, it's no longer behaving like a normal injury. The body has stalled somewhere in the healing process — often because of poor circulation, diabetes, ongoing pressure, or low-grade infection.
Understanding why a wound is stuck is the first step to closing it. Our condition overview walks through what counts as chronic, the most common types, and when it's time to see a specialist.
