Advanced Wound Healing Patients

Everything we do at the Advanced Wound Healing Center of Carlisle Regional Medical Center and Shippensburg is designed to help our patients reclaim something they thought they had lost; to help them regain as much of what they once had; or to assist them in an ongoing struggle against formidable enemies like diabetes and other diseases and conditions.

A non-healing wound on your body is not a natural thing. Seeing yourself in less-than optimal health can have deep and devastating psychological consequences. Feeling depressed and despondent are normal, natural extensions of being in a situation where you feel things are not getting better, or seeing things as getting worse.

If you become our patient, you will find a team of professionals dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible outcome for your condition.

Our staff will help you understand the process of wound healing, describe and explain what is happening every step of the way, chart your progress as you move through the treatment process, and give you all the information and advice you need once your treatment is complete. This is all part of your Individualized Treatment Plan. If your family members are involved, we will help them understand what is happening and why their help and support is of critical importance to your overall experience. If you need an interpreter, we can provide one in almost every case. Transportation is also something we may be able to help you obtain, if needed.

Keeping your Primary Care Physician Involved Every Step of the Way to Total Healing
Once you're discharged from our care, we will follow up with you and your physician from a Discharge Planning standpoint to make sure your outcome was a successful one. We are fortunate to be able to draw upon the full resources of Carlisle Regional Medical Center to help our patients.

As always, we're here to assist you if you need our specialized expertise.
