St. Mark’s Hospital Announces New Wound Care Clinic

St. Mark’s Medical Center announced today the opening of St. Mark’s Wound Care, an outpatient clinic offering a comprehensive approach for patients with non-healing wounds.

The center’s patients are examined by a physician or nurse practitioner trained in wound care and evaluated for all possible related conditions, such as diabetes, that could interfere with proper healing. The care team follows evidence-based clinical pathways to determine why wounds are not healing and then develops individual treatment plans, utilizing the most effective technologies available to provide maximum healing and relief.

“Between five and seven million Americans experience at least one form of a nonhealing wound annually and the incidence of these wounds is increasing by approximately 10 percent each year,” said Dr. Dan White, medical director, St. Mark’s Wound Care. “Many of these individuals suffer from wounds that refuse to heal despite conventional treatment. Healing these wounds seldom involves a simple answer.”

St. Mark’s Wound Care provides a comprehensive approach to treating patients with non-healing wounds. The team features clinical staff with advanced training in wound care.

St. Mark’s Medical Center Wound Care will open beginning Aug. 19. The hours of operation will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
