Wound Care

We are a specialized outpatient wound care treatment center dedicated to the care of patients with wounds. Wounds that are hard-to-heal or non-healing may be a result of pressure, trauma or infection. Sometimes, the simplest of wounds can turn into a significant problem due to underlying conditions such as diabetes, circulation problems or previous radiation treatment.

Since non-healing wounds rarely result from a single cause, we treat the whole person, not just the wound. Our team of experienced wound care specialists will assess your symptoms to determine the underlying cause of your non-healing wound. Together, we will create a care plan to stimulate healing.

Our care plans are personalized to complement the care you are receiving from your doctor. We work as a team to provide the most effective treatment.

Non-healing wounds can have serious health consequences and may affect your quality of life. If you have a wound or an ulcer that is not healing, or any wound that is of concern, ask your doctor for a referral to the wound care center or call 850-229-5833 to schedule an appointment.

If you are experiencing any of the following conditions, you may benefit from advanced wound care.

  • Slow-to-heal or non-healing wounds
  • Foot or leg ulcers or wounds
  • Non-healing skin grafts or surgical flaps
  • Non-healing surgical wounds

Advanced wound care may include:

  • Diagnostic testing (can include vascular testing, blood tests, x-rays)
  • Nutritional evaluation
  • Infection control
  • Specialized dressings
  • Debridement (removal of dead or infected tissues)
  • Patient education

Even the most difficult wounds that have not responded to other treatments may see significant improvement at our center.
