  • Wound Care Fact Sheet

  • The Fort Sanders Wound Care Center provides help for sores that won't heal

    If you're one of the six million Americans suffering from a slow-healing wound, you know the condition can make life painful and uncomfortable. Wounds not only limit physical capabilities, but they also hamper social interactions. A new program, located on the ground floor of the Newland Professional Building at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, is designed to provide relief for chronic wound sufferers.

    Affiliated with Curative Health Services, the Wound Care Center offers comprehensive treatment and therapy for patients dealing with slow-healing sores.

    Treatment is provided on an inpatient and outpatient basis.

    Chronic wounds may be caused by:

    • Poor circulation
    • Diabetes
    • Pressure ulcers.

    Patients are advised on how to care for their wounds at home and given nutrition and exercise options that might speed the healing process. Foot wounds are treated with therapy or special shoes.

    Curative Health Services operates more than 100 Wound Care Centers nationwide. Since 1988, approximately 300,000 patients have benefited from the Centers' services.

    Patients should contact their physician or call 673-FORT for more information.
