COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Wound Care Center at the Community Health Center of Branch County will be helping to raise awareness of chronic wounds during the third annual Wound Care Awareness Week during the week of June 6, 2016.
Program Directors across the country will educate physicians, patients and the general public about the chronic wound epidemic and the advanced wound care solutions.
Officials estimate that chronic wounds affect 6.7 million people in the U.S. and the incidence is rising, fueled by an aging population and increasing rates of diseases and conditions.
If left untreated, chronic wounds can lead to diminished quality of life and possibly amputation of the affected limb.
