This week's story focuses on the multidisciplinary approach the wound care team takes to tackle wounds before they "get out of control." The article highlights some of the treatment options available at Montefiore, as well as the home-care program for patients who have difficulty getting to appointments, and emphasizes that the goal of the program is to treat wounds early in order to prevent the need for expensive therapies later.
