Most wounds, minor cuts and scratches heal on their own within two weeks. However, there are times when a wound stays open longer due to blood flow problems, infection, diabetes, or poor nutrition. When this occurs, the specially trained clinical team at Heritage Valley WoundCare can help treat wounds that are not healing on their own. At Heritage Valley WoundCare, teamwork, coordinated care, advanced technologies and excellent outcomes are available in one convenient location. Many types of wounds are treated at the center. Some of the most common types of wounds treated are:

• Diabetic Ulcers
• Pressure Ulcers
