Because healing does not always come easy…

     …North Fulton Regional Hospital’s Outpatient Wound Care Program is here to help. We provide a full range of services for effective wound management that begins with an extensive assessment of the wound and other factors that may be affecting the healing process.

     Our physical therapists, each having several years of wound care experience, work with you to ensure the approach is designed to meet your needs. Throughout the therapy process, you will be thoroughly educated with regard to self-care strategies, discharge planning, and support services that continue to promote the healing process and prevention of further complications.
