WHI works to heal wounds such as, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, venous and arterial ulcers, burns, non-healing surgical and/or traumatic wounds. WHI has established a healing rate of 8 weeks versus the national average of 16 weeks. WHI offers an Ostomy Care Clinic, where we see individuals with ostomy self care concerns or complications. WHI offers a Foot Care Clinic, where we see individuals who are unable to safely trim their own nails. WHI evaluates and treats patients and residents at some of the area skilled nursing facilities, long term care facilities and assisted living centers.
