Follow on Google News | Lake Pointe Wound Care Center Participates in Second Annual Wound Care Awareness WeekBy: Lake Pointe Medical Center “Left untreated, chronic wounds can lead to infection and even amputation,” Wounds are becoming a larger burden on the healthcare system because of the aging population and increased prevalence of chronic conditions such as obesity and diabetes, both of which lead to chronic wounds. The cost to treat advanced wounds exceeds $50 billion annually in the United States. It is estimated that 30 percent of people with untreated wounds will need an amputation and 50 percent of those amputees will die within five years of amputation. Due to the lack of awareness of advanced wound care, the vast majority of people with chronic wounds do not receive proper treatment. If you have a wound, you may benefit from a visit to LPWCC. To schedule an appointment, please call 972-526-7600.
