Henry County Center for Wound Healing
Wounds can occur for many different reasons. Living with a wound that will not heal or having a wound when you have a chronic illness is frustrating, scary, and potentially, serious. A wound care management plan designed just for you can help improve your quality of life, promote healing, and help prevent complications.

Types of Wounds
If you have a chronic illness such as diabetes, heart disease, paralysis or vascular issues, it is important to start wound treatments as soon as a wound occurs. Attempting to heal your wound at home with no medical care can delay your healing and lead to possible serious complications. Seek medical treatment as soon as your wound occurs.
Some of the wounds treated at the Wound Center include:
- Diabetic ulcers
- Neuropathic ulcers
- Venous ulcers
- Pressure ulcers (bedsores)
- Vascular ulcers
- Arterial ulcers
- Other non-healing chronic wounds
- Surgical wounds
- Burns
- Traumatic injuries
- Skin tears
Education
An important piece of any wound care plan is patient education. Wound healing is affected by tobacco use, diabetes, circulation problems, edema, medications, chronic illnesses and nutrition. At your appointment you will be given instruction and information on how you can improve your healing potential.
