6/1/2016
Healogics, Inc. is sponsoring its annual Wound Care Awareness Week June 6 – June 10, 2016 in cities nationwide
Naples, Fla. (June 2, 2016) The Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine at Physicians Regional Healthcare System, a member of the Healogics network, is helping raise awareness of chronic wounds. The third annual Wound Care Awareness Week is being held from June 6 to June 10. One of nearly 800 Healogics-managed Centers, Physicians Regional Wound Care clinic offers advanced therapies to patients suffering from chronic wounds. Program Directors across the nation will dedicate the entire week to educating physicians, patients and the general public about the chronic wound epidemic and the advanced wound care solutions.
It is estimated that chronic wounds affect 6.7 million people in the U.S. and the incidence is rising, fueled by an aging population and increasing rates of diseases and conditions such as diabetes, obesity and the late effects of radiation therapy. If left untreated, chronic wounds can lead to diminished quality of life and possibly amputation of the affected limb.
Dr. Gary Gallo, Medical Director of The Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine, said “The Wound Care Center at Physicians Regional Healthcare System provides a multidisciplinary approach to healing wounds to provide the highest care possible for our patients.”
People with wounds that have not improved with traditional methods of treatment may benefit from a visit to The Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine at Physician Regional.
