Sierra Madre, California (PRWEB) January 30, 2015 -- Cornerstone Hospital of Austin – Round Rock recently partnered with Wound Care Advantage (WCA) to open a specialized outpatient wound center. The partnership strengthens the hospital’s commitment to the specialty of wound care by joining a network of wound centers across the country currently being served by WCA.

“Having an outpatient wound care center allows us to provide a better continuum of care for patients who require specialized wound care management in an outpatient setting.”

Cornerstone Hospital’s Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine offers advanced wound care treatments and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to help heal wounds, including diabetic wounds of the lower extremities, pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, ischemic ulcers, traumatic ulcers, radiation wounds, atypical wounds and post-surgical wounds.

Diabetes and obesity have reached an epidemic level in Texas. Texas currently has the 15th highest adult obesity (30.9% of the population) and the 13th highest rate of adult diabetics (10.9% of the population). These conditions are a breeding ground for patients with non-healing wounds. Poor circulation, infection, diabetes, obesity and injuries can cause advanced wounds that are difficult to heal without specialty care.

More than 60 percent of non-traumatic, lower-limb amputations occur in people with diabetes. Comprehensive foot care programs have been shown to reduce amputation rates in diabetics by 45 to 85 percent. Wound healing increases a patient’s quality of life and works toward limb preservation in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

“Cornerstone Hospital of Austin – Round Rock is committed to providing outstanding wound healing results in both our hospital and wound center,” stated Ed Dyer, Chief Executive Officer at Cornerstone Hospital. “Having an outpatient wound care center allows us to provide a better continuum of care for patients who require specialized wound care management in an outpatient setting.”

Wound Care Advantage, an innovative serviced-based wound care company, provides the necessary tools for a well-equipped wound care program. Transitioning wound care management providers can be a complex undertaking. WCA provides transition specialists to guide hospital executives through the entire process, making it as smooth as possible.

“Wound Care Advantage is a nationally recognized company that has high expectations and standards that complement those of Cornerstone Hospital,” Stephanie Rodriguez, Regional DPR for Cornerstone Hospital said. “The partnership adds greater depth to our services while maintaining our focus on quality patient care.”

“We are extremely excited about our partnership with Cornerstone Hospital of Austin - Round Rock,” said Nancy Zeller, President of Wound Care Advantage. “Our team at Wound Care Advantage has always put providing outstanding patient care as our number one priority. By working with great hospitals like Cornerstone Hospital, we are able to help more patients who are battling complex advanced wounds.”
