The Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Center cares for adults, children, and infants with all types of chronic and acute wounds. Our multidisciplinary approach combines clinical wound care and support services, leading to successful wound healing.
The Valley Approach to Wound Care

Treatments may include specialized wound dressings, various types of debridement (a procedure used to remove nonviable or damaged tissue from a wound) to promote healing, compression wraps, and non-invasive vascular assessment.
At the completion of your care, your referring clinician(s) will be provided with a complete summary of care.
