Non-healing wounds also occur in pressure sores and traumatic wounds. AtlantiCare Wound Healing Center uses the most up-to-date approaches to wound healing and remains current in the latest scientific advances in wound care. The AtlantiCare Wound Healing Center is a hospital-based outpatient service.

 
When Should I Consider Using the Wound Care Center? If you have a wound that is not significantly better in a month, or healed entirely in two months, you should ask your doctor about AtlantiCare Wound Healing Center.
