Wound Treatment Center

Chronic Wound Care

Did You Know?

More than 5 million people in the U.S. suffer from chronic wounds that show no signs of healing after four to six weeks. For people with diabetes, poor circulation or long-term immobilization, a chronic wound can be a serious condition.



Thank You Wound Center!

Betty Halliday

A grateful patient sent the Wound Treatment Center staff a special thank-you cake for her treatment and care. The patient had suffered from a non-healing foot wound for three years, and was discharged from the program, fully healed in six-months.

For people who have wounds that won’t heal, sometimes life can lose its enjoyment because of pain, fear and the inability to get around. St. Anthony’s Medical Center’s Wound Treatment Center offers compassionate, comprehensive care for people who have non-healing wounds.
