Hospitals and WoundFree: Partnering for Community-Centered Chronic Wound Care

Hospitals play a pivotal role in chronic wound treatment, providing advanced care, resources, and expertise that help patients achieve better health outcomes. At WoundFree, we are proud to partner with hospitals in the shared mission to reduce the prevalence of chronic wounds and improve the quality of life for patients throughout our communities.

​

The Role of Hospitals in Chronic Wound Care

Hospitals are essential in delivering high-quality, comprehensive wound care that addresses each patient’s unique needs. Their role includes:

 

• Access to Advanced Wound Care Technologies and Therapies

Hospitals offer patients a range of advanced wound care treatments, from Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). This access is critical for those with complex or non-healing wounds that require specialized interventions to achieve optimal healing.

 

• Expert, Multidisciplinary Care Teams

Hospital wound care teams include doctors, wound care specialists, nurses, and allied health professionals, all collaborating to create personalized treatment plans. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that each patient receives well-rounded, effective care that addresses the root causes of chronic wounds.

 

• Prevention of Wound Recurrence and Readmissions

Hospitals are committed to reducing readmissions through preventive care, patient education, and post-discharge support. This approach improves healing rates and empowers patients to manage their health after they leave the hospital, ultimately strengthening community health.

 

• Training and Resources for Medical Professionals

Hospitals invest in continuous training for healthcare providers, ensuring that medical staff are equipped with the latest knowledge and techniques in chronic wound prevention, identification, and treatment.

​

Our Partnership with Hospitals to Expand Community Impact

WoundFree’s partnership with hospitals goes beyond clinical care. Together, we work to make a lasting

impact on community health through education, prevention, and accessible wound care. Our

partnership includes:

 

Certification Programs for Hospital Staff

WoundFree provides a certification program for hospital staff that equips them with specialized knowledge in chronic wound care. This program enables hospitals to enhance their wound care services, reduce complications, and improve patient outcomes.

 

Community Outreach and Preventive Care Initiatives

Partnering with hospitals allows WoundFree to bring wound care services and education directly to the community. Together, we host regular wound screenings, public health workshops, and prevention seminars to increase awareness and identify at-risk individuals early.

 

Collaborative Research and Innovation in Wound Care

Our partnerships foster collaborative research efforts, allowing us to develop and implement cutting-edge wound care solutions that benefit the community. By advancing wound care practices, we can address the unique challenges faced by patients with chronic wounds.

 

Support for Post-Hospitalization Wound Care

To ensure continuity of care, WoundFree and our partner hospitals work together to support patients after discharge, connecting them with certified wound care providers and resources within their communities. This post-hospitalization support helps patients maintain healing and reduces the risk of wound recurrence.

​

The Community Impact of Our Hospital Partnerships

Through our partnership with hospitals, WoundFree is helping build healthier communities by making

expert wound care more accessible and by addressing chronic wound challenges on a larger scale.

Together, we are:

Empowering Community Members: Through preventive education and screenings, we’re empowering individuals to take charge of their health, helping reduce the occurrence of chronic wounds.
