June marks Wound Care Awareness Month, a crucial time to advocate for the specific needs of individuals with chronic wounds and the array of treatments available. Throughout this month-long initiative, we focus on common wound types and the benefits of treatment options and prevention. Non-healing wounds have a significant impact on quality of life and even life expectancy. Without proper treatment, they can lead to severe complications, potentially increasing the risk of amputation. Early treatment is crucial and leads to better outcomes. Raising awareness about wound care empowers patients to understand that non-healing wounds are treatable. #WoundCenrics #WoundCareWednesdays #woundpros #woundhealing #healthcare #health #WHAM #WHAM2024 #woundhealingawarenessmonth #ABWM
