Wound Care
Treating Injuries and Preventing Further Complications
The New Orleans East Hospital wound care center is a specialized outpatient treatment center dedicated to the care of patients with wounds.
Wounds that are hard-to-heal or non-healing may be a result of pressure, trauma or infection. Sometimes, the simplest of wounds can turn into a significant problem due to underlying conditions, including diabetes, circulation problems or previous radiation treatment. These wounds can have serious health consequences and may adversely affect your quality of life.
Healing wounds is our specialty! Even the most difficult wounds that have not responded to other treatments may see significant improvement at our center. At our wound center, our team of experienced wound care specialists will assess your symptoms, determine the underlying cause of your non-healing wound and customize the most effective treatment plan to stimulate healing.
