Specialized Care Team

The Wound Program experts at Good Samaritan Hospital are dedicated to helping chronic wounds heal and relieving the pain they cause.  Since troublesome wounds are often associated with other underlying medical conditions, we specifically integrate wound care with ongoing health care.

Your wound care team works to manage your wounds using a combination of the following:

Physicians:  

• General surgeon
• Infectious disease specialist
• Internist
• Podiatrist
• Reconstructive surgeon
• Vascular surgeon 

Other key members of the team may include:

• Diabetic educator
• Nutritional specialist
• Occupational therapist
• Physical therapist
