Who we are
Healogics is the nation’s leading provider of advanced wound care. Wound care treatment is very important and more common than most people realize. In fact, 1 in 4 families has a family member with a chronic wound. The impact on people and their loved ones is astounding, as a wound left untreated can lead to diminished quality of life and possible amputation of the affected limb. Approximately 30 percent of untreated chronic wounds result in amputation, and five-years post-amputation the mortality rate is approximately 75 percent.
Fortunately, there is hope for people who suffer from chronic wounds. Every team member within the Healogics network of nearly 600 Wound Care Centers® dedicates themselves every day to healing and caring for people with hard-to-heal wounds. The expertise of our Wound Care Centers’ specialty-trained wound care physicians allows Centers to treat a variety of chronic wounds.
We have been treating patients with chronic wounds for over 20 years, from over 600 hospital-based wound care centers across the country. Today, Healogics treats over 300,000 wound care patients a year and has healed nearly 4M wounds.

What is Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)?

How does cholesterol affect heart health?
September is National Cholesterol Education Month so it is a great time to have your cholesterol tested and learn more about how it affects your health.

Most patients suffer from hard-to-heal wounds because they are also battling disease, such as diabetes or heart disease. We've gathered a library of wound care information to help you understand the connections between your disease and your wound. You can find these resources at the link in our bio. https://www.healogics.com/wound-care-patient-information/
