Wound Care
We expect our bodies to heal quickly. But in fact, healing is a very complicated process. If a wound has not healed in four weeks with standard medical care, it's considered a problem wound and needs special treatment. The REX Wound Healing Center can help.
Our specially trained doctors and nurses have advanced wound care training in treating problem wounds. We offer a coordinated plan of treatment with your primary care physician to assist in the healing process and ensure a continuum of care.
