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.
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, Arterial Ulcers, Venous Ulcers, Trauma, Non-healing surgical wounds, and any wound that has not healed.

WoundCare has all the specialists you may need working together in one location to help you heal. Specialists who are part of the Heritage Valley team include Certified Wound Specialist Physicians (CWSP), Vascular Surgeons, General Surgeons, Family Practice Physicians, Podiatrists, Infectious Disease Specialists, Physical Therapists, Nutritionists, and Diabetic Educators.
