About Us
The Carle Wound Healing and Limb Preservation Center is an outpatient program
dedicated to healing patients with difficult-to-heal wounds. Such wounds are
often the result of diabetes, circulatory problems, chronic infections or
previous accidents.
A highly skilled and specially trained team of
doctors, nurses and technicians staff the Carle Wound
Healing and Limb Preservation Center. This team has advanced training
and experience in healing difficult wounds.
The goals of the Center include the following:
It Takes a Team Effort
When it comes to healing your wound, the specialists at Carle are only part
of the team. We don't replace your doctor. In fact, your doctor will be involved
and informed every step of the way.
Your physician helps first by providing your medical history. Our staff then
develops an individualized treatment plan designed to heal your wound as quickly
as possible.
