We heard inspiring stories from the first two patients, George Lieux and Kim Vidrine, who underwent the APLICOR 3D procedure. They shared their experiences and remarked on the care they received.

OGHS President and CEO, Lance Armentor, MHA, spoke about how this breakthrough represents the next big step in wound treatment. We were also honored to hear from Doug Payne, COO, Tides Medical, who presented Opelousas General and The Wound Treatment Center with the Health Care Innovator Award.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are open sores or wounds that occur in people with diabetes, most commonly on the bottom of the foot. Poor circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy) mean many patients don't feel pain, allowing wounds to go unnoticed and worsen over time. Early recognition and proper wound care are critical — untreated DFUs are a leading cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputations.

Know the signs. Catch it early by calling The Wound Treatment Center at (337) 948-5100 to schedule an appointment.

This April, don't let wishful thinking stand between you and proper wound care.

Some wounds do heal on their own, but many don't. Chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, and slow-healing injuries can worsen quickly when left untreated.

If it hasn't healed in two weeks, it's time to see The Wound Treatment Center. Give us a call at 337-948-5100.
