About United Wound Healing

Our mission to transform wound care and improve lives is challenging — but absolutely worth it. One in ten skilled nursing facility residents will develop a skin condition requiring expert medical care, and one in four patients goes home with an open wound. Every one of those people deserves the very best care available. Our providers bring hands-on expertise, education, and compassionate care to patients and their care teams so that their wounds can heal faster. At United Wound Healing, we’re not just treating wounds; we’re raising the standard of care, one patient at a time.
