Established with the mission of providing expert wound care and feeding tube services, we have used evidence-based clinical pathways and expedited the healing of wounds. We have raised the level of quality of wound care provided to the patients. WCS has wound healing rates that have remained consistently at or above the national benchmark. Highly coordinated care is inbuilt and streamlined in the patient's wound maintenance encounters, especially with multiple chronic comorbid conditions. The efficiency of care provided by our clinicians reduces overall costs, time, and energy of the patient, insurance carriers, caregivers and the entire health care system as a whole. Our vision is to improve the quality of life of our patients above and beyond the standards of practice.
