How often do I need to come to wound care? 

The length of treatment will depend on your individual needs. Most patients typically come to wound care once a week.

Where are you located?

Advanced Wound Care is located inside CMH on Ground Floor. Please use the entrance on the backside of the hospital under the blue awning.
