Comprehensive Wound Healing Center®

Abington Memorial Hospital has treated wound and ostomy patients for many years. To accommodate the growing needs of these patients, a new facility was developed and our staff began seeing patients in July 1999.

The Comprehensive Wound Healing Center®, located at the Abington Health Center – Schilling Campus in Willow Grove and the Abington Health Center – Warminster Campus (formerly Warminster Hospital), provides treatment for non-healing and problem wounds. Problem wounds are common among diabetics and individuals with a range of other medical conditions, such as radiation tissue damage, that interfere with the body's natural healing process.

Our wound care team includes a physician team practicing in various medical specialties, as well as nursing staff with training in wound, ostomy and continence care, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and critical care. Physicians and nurses provide comprehensive patient assessment and implement a treatment plan in collaboration with a patient's primary or referring physician. The center's staff provides state-of-the-art topical treatment options, adjunctive therapies, non-invasive diagnostic studies, wound debridement, nutritional support, pressure relief devices for pressure wounds, compression therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and physical therapy.
