A Department of Community Howard Regional Health

Knowing when to seek medical attention for a wound is key to treatment. Several diseases lead to chronic wounds that are hard to heal, and without quick treatment can be difficult to treat, or can even lead to amputation. The Howard Wound Care Clinic is dedicated to the treatment and prevention of wounds, both acute and chronic.

About

The Wound Clinic of Community Howard Regional Health provides treatment for chronic or non-healing wounds. These time-tested and clinically proven treatments realize outstanding results.

Chronic and non-healing wounds can result from a number of factors, including diabetes, poor circulation, trauma, surgery, vascular disease and immobility (which can lead to pressure ulcers, commonly known as bed sores). People with diabetes are at particular risk. The Wound Clinic not only uses among the most advanced therapies available for healing, but it also addresses the underlying cause of the wound (for example, nutrition, lack of exercise, hygiene, ill-fitting shoes) to help eliminate recurrence.
