With an increase in conditions such as diabetes, obesity and peripheral artery disease, more and more people are suffering from wounds that don’t heal well.

Gifford’s Wound Care is led by a nurse specially certified in both wound care and diabetic wound care. Services include monitoring wounds, applying dressings, utilizing compression as appropriate, referring patients to a general surgeon or podiatrist for additional care and working with home health care agencies to coordinate proper wound care at home.

Wound care through the clinic is available at all of Gifford’s health centers for the convenience of patients.
