When a wound from an accident, underlying disease or infection isn’t healing properly, appropriate care can save life and limb. Heart of Lancaster offers this highly specialized care at our Wound Care Center, located across from the hospital at the Medical Pavilion. This facility is designed to monitor, manage, and treat chronic non-healing wounds with the expertise from our highly trained wound care staff.
Wounds that resist healing can lead to many complications, including infection, sepsis, hospitalization, deformities, amputation, or decrease in function. The Wound Care Center provides diagnosis and treatment for a variety of chronic or non-healing wounds in an outpatient setting.
Wound Types Treated:
- Pressure ulcers
- Arterial ulcers
- Venous wounds
- Diabetic wounds
- Surgical wounds
- Trauma wounds
- Radiation tissue damage
- Gangrene
- Complex soft tissue wounds
- Lymphedema
- Burns
At Heart of Lancaster Wound Care Center, our team of medical specialists is trained to treat all types of wounds as early and efficiently as possible. The first step in the road to recovery of a non-healing wound is an examination by our Medical Director, Dr. Glenn A. Kline. Next, one of our specially trained clinicians creates an individualized treatment plan in which all the necessary caregivers – from specialty surgeons to therapists and family members – are included. The plan is then communicated to the primary care physician, who continues to treat underlying conditions and provide overall care for the patient. This treatment approach has been designed to complement the primary or referring physician’s care, not replace it. A physician has the option to call the center for an appointment for his or her patient or patients may call the center directly.
Patients may be referred to the Wound Care Center by their physician, or may call the center directly to schedule an appointment. The Center participates in many commercial insurance plans, HMOs and PPOs. Services are also covered by Medicare and Medicaid.
