The Wound Center

Highly Comprehensive and Individualized Wound Care

Established in 1996, the Wound Center at Knapp Medical Center is a comprehensive outpatient center designed for the treatment of wounds that are either not healing or healing slowly.

The Wound Center at KMC provides a thorough diagnostic examination of the wound and the patient. A comprehensive and individual treatment plan is then developed and communicated to the referring physician.

Information concerning the patient’s progress is continuously submitted to the referring physician. The update even includes photos of the wound with a progress report at regular intervals. We can periodically evaluate and readjust our treatment plan as necessary to achieve a positive outcome.

For further information, contact us at 956-969-5185.
