Wound Healing Institute
A minor cut or scratch poses little problem for most of us. But for some 5 million Americans who do not have the ability to heal properly because of poor blood circulation from diabetes, peripheral vascular disease or problems with their veins, a simple sore or cut can result in serious infections, gangrene or even amputation.
The focus at the Stevens Hospital Wound Healing Institute is on preserving limbs and healing difficult wounds through a comprehensive, team approach. And there will be no long delays before you get a referral to another specialist because they are all under one roof.
The Wound Healing Institute at Stevens Hospital is set apart from other wound healing programs because it is staffed with:
- Certified wound care advanced registered nurse practitioners.
- Diabetes educators.
- General surgeons.
- Infectious disease specialists.
- Nutritionists.
- Orthotists.
- Physical therapists.
- Physician assistants.
- Podiatric surgeons.
- Vascular surgeons.
- Weight management counselors.
The Institute helps heal chronic wounds faster by treating the cause of a patient’s nonhealing wound and applying evidence-based, medical and surgical techniques that are outcome-focused and cost-effective.
Patients and their families or caregivers are taught how to care for their wounds at home to further facilitate faster and more permanent healing. We use latest approved devices and dressings to promote healing.
Teamwork, coordinated care, advanced technologies and excellent outcomes can all be found in one convenient location—the Stevens Hospital Wound Healing Institute. For more information, call 425.673.3380.
