Wound and Ostomy Center
Nearly 6.5 million Americans have non-healing wounds because of diabetes, pressure ulcers, circulatory problems, or other injuries. Unlike normal wounds that your body can heal, chronic or traumatic wounds may show no signs of healing over a period of several weeks. If you have a wound that is not healing, the Wound, Ostomy Clinic can help you. Our experts offer a comprehensive program to help patients who suffer with non-healing wounds.

Ostomy Clinic
Patients who have an ostomy or who are preparing for ostomy surgery usually have many questions. An ostomy can be a life-changing event for many patients. Common problems can develop after having an ostomy surgery. Problems with leaking, pouching and wafers not fitting correctly, or skin irritation may occur.
We also offer an evaluation of your current pouching system to see if it is the right one for your lifestyle. Patients living with an ostomy have many choices.
