There is a multidisciplinary staff of clinicians and advanced-trained wound care specialists who will work to heal your wounds and assure the best opportunity to heal. The clinic treats all wounds, but specializes in those that are slow or difficult to heal. Internal injuries will also be treated here, including the late effects of radiation, osteomyelitis, and crush injuries.

High summer temperatures, social activities, and busy schedules may make non-healing wounds more difficult to heal.

Staying focused on preventing the spread of germs and protecting the wound’s surface will ensure that you continue on the path to healing. Avoid swimming in open bodies of water (like streams and lakes) where bacteria can enter your open wound.

Keep bandages clean. Sweat and dirt from outdoor activity can affect your wound’s healing progress.

Stay hydrated. Drink the recommended eight glasses of water each day to ensure your body’s tissues are making healthy, new cells.

What makes the wound center special?

Our clinic has a great team that works very well together to facilitate unique and efficient treatment approaches. In the clinic we produce individual plans to achieve the best wound outcome for each patient. Our staff enjoy spending time with our patients as much as their families.

Why should providers send their patients to the wound center?

It’s an opportunity to see a provider who specifically manages and treats wounds daily. We are focused on successful healing outcomes. The longer a wound goes untreated, the greater the risk for complications and negative wound outcomes.

What is the most important thing you want people to know about the wound center?

Having a wound care clinic in New Roads keeps healthcare local and heartfelt. Wound care is extremely important to prevent complications from infections, amputations, and even death.

What is your favorite part about working in wound care?

I love working with people. It is just as exciting for me to see the wound heal as it is for my patients! Seeing the progression of wounds and my patients being able to return to their everyday activities is extremely rewarding.
