Wentworth-Douglass Hospital is doing more for patients with complex and chronic wounds.

Imagine having a small wound that doesn’t heal after a few weeks or even months. Wounds that resist or cannot heal properly within normal time frames are known as complex or chronic wounds. These wounds, if not treated correctly, can have debilitating effects.

For 84-year old retired nurse, Marie Lampesis Trott, suffering from a chronic wound that wouldn’t heal caused excruciating pain and unending frustration in her very active life.

"I’m very busy. I’m just on the go all the time, but I had this problem with my leg. I was in terrible pain, and I couldn’t walk or anything. I was so discouraged."

That’s when her doctor referred her to the Wound Healing Institute at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital. Using proven treatment methods, the doctors at the Wound Healing Institute helped Marie get on the path to better health and back to her busy life.

"I’m so much better thanks to the Wound Healing Institute. I’m able to get around, get my errands done, visit my daughter and everything. And the staff at the Wound Healing Institute has just been wonderful —I feel that they saved my leg. They were very kind—just a wonderful group. I would recommend Wentworth-Douglass Hospital to anybody."

The newly expanded Wound Healing Institute is completely focused on your comfort, care and healing. Staffed with experienced nurses, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, it’s the only facility on the Seacoast that is led by a team of surgeons. The comprehensive program also stresses prevention by assessing nutrition and lifestyle factors.

And with their individual case management approach, you’ll receive the effective treatments you need and the personal attention you deserve.
