Healing through advanced wound care

Wounds that do not heal can keep you from the activities you enjoy.

The specialized wound care services at Adirondack Health are available for both inpatient and outpatient consultation and treatment of non-healing wounds. Our wide array of healing options can be especially effective in treating patients who have chronic and advanced conditions that have not responded to previous therapies.

Our progressive approach to wound healing uses personalized treatment plans to not only treat your wound but also identify and treat the underlying cause, preventing reoccurrence of wounds in the future.

We are happy to answer any questions you might have, so give us a call at 518-897-2800.

The medical director of the wound center is Dr. Claude Roland, a vascular surgeon whose vascular practice is conveniently located in the same building. This uniquely positions the wound center to providing quick access to all resources for healing and diagnosis if further intervention or testing is required.

Wound therapists at Adirondack Health include physicians, nurses and technicians who are trained in the latest therapeutic methods in wound management. The center's clinical staff has received advanced training at the National Healing Institute at the Ohio State University.
