Comprehensive wound assessment & treatment
Treating a chronic wound successfully begins with a thorough evaluation. At Advocate Health Care, a multi-disciplinary team of experts will extensively assess your wound and overall health to identify any issues that may have caused it or affected its healing. An individualized treatment plan is then developed. It'll include not only advanced care by our experts but also support and education on wound healing and prevention at home.
