Comprehensive Wound Care at Speare Memorial Hospital

Chronic or non-healing wounds can significantly impact a patient’s health and quality of life, often requiring specialized treatment beyond standard medical care. At Speare Memorial Hospital’s Wound Care Center®, we are committed to providing advanced, patient-centered care for wounds that fail to heal through conventional methods. Our expert team utilizes cutting-edge treatments and a multidisciplinary approach to promote healing, prevent complications, and enhance overall well-being.

Patients with wounds that fail to heal within 30 days often require specialized care, such as the services provided by the Wound Care Center®. Our center is distinguished by a nearly 98% patient satisfaction rate and an 80% successful wound healing rate—achievements that have earned us national recognition as a Center of Distinction.

Managed by Healogics™, Speare Memorial Hospital’s Wound Care Center® offers advanced treatment for chronic or non-healing wounds—defined as wounds or sores that show little to no improvement with conventional therapies. These wounds are often associated with inadequate circulation, venous insufficiency, and limited mobility, all of which can significantly impact quality of life and, in severe cases, lead to amputation. When a wound does not respond to standard medical care within 30 days, it is classified as chronic and requires specialized intervention.

At the Wound Care Center®, we provide state-of-the-art treatments including debridement, advanced dressing selection, customized footwear, and comprehensive patient education. Our interdisciplinary approach integrates infectious disease management, physical and occupational therapy, laboratory evaluation, nutritional support, pain management, diabetes education, and radiology services to support wound healing and overall patient health.

Prevention

Lower extremity wounds are especially prone to recurrence. At Speare, one of our wound care physicians is also a board-certified podiatrist, allowing us to offer comprehensive, specialized care. Our approach includes thorough neurovascular screening, preventative care, education on compression therapy and skin care, appropriate offloading to relieve pressure, and, when necessary, surgical or in-office procedures to help prevent future wounds. As part of your individualized care plan, periodic follow-up visits with podiatry may be recommended even after your wound has healed.
