Hear From Patients:
“When the Wound Care door opens, there is always a smile from them. It’s amazing, their thoughtfulness and care that they give everyone. You can talk to them about anything, and no question is a stupid question. It’s amazing how they can come in and remember your wound from last week! You couldn’t ask for a better place.” – Susan E.
