	Centers of Excellence > Outpatient Center > Wound Care

You've tried bandages and ointments, but your wound is not getting better. This is why we created The Wound Care Center. It offers the most advanced and innovative wound treatment available. A board-certified physician specializing in Infection Control leads a team of wound-care specialists to provide the optimal treatment for your wound.

Our intervention is recommended if you, or a loved one, are coping with acute or chronic wounds due to:

Trauma or injury
Burns (chemical or thermal)
Chronic disease condition, such as diabetes
Neuropathic condition (which may cause a loss of sensation)
Vascular disease
Underlying disease causing pressure ulcers
Surgery

Your first exam will involve an initial assessment that is non-invasive. Measurements, photographs and temperature readings will be taken during this time. Then a plan of care will be discussed.

Casa Colina's Wound Care Program will assess, heal and help prevent any potential deformity through:

Risk identification to determine problems in the early stages
Assessment based upon objective as well as subjective criteria
Advanced wound care designed for each individual patient
Instruction for the patient and family to promote the best long-term outcomes through proper on-going care at home
Continuous follow-up and monitoring provided by multidisciplinary team members
Prevention of catastrophic complications, such as amputation
Access to an on-site hyperbaric oxygen chambers, if appropriate

What sets the Wound Care Center apart from others is our team of medically directed wound care and hyperbaric medicine specialists, resulting in a unique ability to provide prevention, intervention, and effective treatment at one convenient location.
