Delayed Wound Care During COVID-19 Caused Serious Complications
Healogics continues to follow the devastating impact COVID-19 still has on the communities we serve, even after the height of the pandemic. Our Wound Care Centers remained open and provided essential care to people living with chronic wounds.
Wound Care Matters® even more now as research is showing an increase in amputations compared to similar times prior to the pandemic. This increase is attributed to complications including infections due to delayed treatment of non-healing wounds.
Your best protection against all respiratory viruses is to:
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Make sure to cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Practice frequent hand washing.
Common signs of infection include fever and respiratory symptoms, including cough and shortness of breath. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms please contact your Wound Care Center® before coming in for your appointment so we may best accommodate you.
Frequent visits to your Wound Care Center are key to healing so we will help you reschedule. Telehealth visits are also available if you cannot come in for your appointment.
