Chronic wounds are more than medical problems – they’re life-threatening emergencies in disguise. Research reveals that venous leg ulcers alone cost the healthcare system over $14.9 billion annually, but the human toll is even greater: patients with diabetic foot ulcers face mortality rates exceeding many cancers, including breast, prostate, and colon cancers.
Boston Wound connects Greater Boston residents with our distinguished network of independent wound care physicians, nurse practitioners, and podiatrists. We are not medical providers ourselves, but facilitate access to specialists who deliver expert care for diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure injuries throughout Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End, North End, Fenway/Kenmore, South Boston, Charlestown, East Boston, Allston-Brighton, Jamaica Plain, Roxbury, Dorchester, Brookline, and surrounding communities.
Studies tracking nearly 125,000 patients reveal that proper wound intervention can mean the difference between healing and amputation, between independence and disability, between life and death. Early intervention reduces amputation risk dramatically – posterior tibial artery revascularization alone reduces amputation rates by nearly 50 times.
We understand that navigating healthcare can be challenging. Our approach is simple: call us directly. No confusing online forms, no automated systems.
