Meridian Health Recognizes National Wound Care Awareness Week

During National Wound Care Awareness Week, the experts from Meridian Health’s Centers for Wound Healing remind the public that there are advanced therapies available close to home for patients suffering from chronic, non-healing wounds.

 

Chronic wounds affect millions of 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.  Untreated, chronic wounds can lead to diminished quality of life and possibly amputation of the affected limb.
