PCHS opens wound care clinic

Perkins County Health Services Critical Access Hospital has recently announced the opening of The Wound Care Clinic, an outpatient facility offering a comprehensive approach for patients with non-healing wounds.  

The clinic’s patients are examined by a multidisciplinary staff trained in wound care and evaluated for all possible physical conditions, such as diabetes, that could interfere with proper healing. 

The care team follows evidence-based clinical pathways to determine why wounds are not healing, and then develops individual treatment plans, utilizing the most effective technologies available to provide maximum healing and relief.

“Between 5-7 million Americans experience at least one form of a non-healing wound annually and the incidence of these wounds are increasing,” said Dr. Shane Banks, PCHS chief of surgery. “Many of these individuals suffer from wounds that refuse to heal despite conventional treatment. These wounds seldom involve a simple answer.”

The Wound Care Clinic at PCHS provides a comprehensive approach to treating patients with non-healing wounds. The highly-skilled team features affiliated physicians, nurses and technicians with advanced training in wound care. 

The clinic is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information about wound care or to schedule an appointment, call 308-352-7102.
