Wound Healing Foundation

The Wound Healing Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving wound healing world-wide. These guidelines are freely available to anyone.

The inability of wounds, scars and adhesions to heal normally is a major health problem in the United States as well as globally. As the population ages, the magnitude of chronic wound problems will increase. The Foundation raises public awareness, understanding and funds to support research for wound healing problems in collaboration and coordination with the Society. The Wound Healing Foundation is governed by a dedicated Board of Directors composed of leaders in academia, private practice and industry devoted to wound healing problems and by people affected by problems associated with wounds and scarring. The Foundation funded the creation of wound healing guidelines for acute wounds, chronic wounds and prevention of wounds by best practices and evidence. The Foundation presents yearly research fellowship awards to outstanding scientists and is positioned to expand its research program through additional small grants and young investigator awards. Although chronic wounds affect approximately 6.5 million people in the United States, relatively few clinicians and researchers focus specifically on wound healing. There is great need for creating awards for the career development of young investigators so they may reach a point where they can obtain independent funding. Future plans for specific career development activities geared to WHS members are underway. Patients and caregivers do not always have access to wound healing specialists. The Foundation in conjunction with the Society are drafting user friendly information. Successful wound care is a team effort and the patients and their families have a major role in healing their wound. The partnership between the Wound Healing Foundation and the Wound Healing Society is an ongoing cooperative venture for developing society resources to accomplish a vital educational and charitable mission: to advance the science and practice of wound healing in the United States and throughout the world. Through the generosity of individuals, corporations, and foundations, the Foundation is committed to innovation and excellence as the expanding needs unfold in the 21st century.

It is with great sorrow to share that our dear friend and colleague Paul Y. Liu, MD passed away after bravely battling leukemia.

Please keep Paul’s family and loved ones close to your heart while they are grieving his absence. The Foundation will honor Paul’s legacy in wound healing, befitting his passion for wound healing research, knowledge, and education. When funeral arrangements, obituary, and honor donation details are determined, we will post this additional information for your convenience.

Paul’s dedication to wound healing spans over 35 years. Internationally recognized for his skills as a wound researcher and as a compassionate plastic surgeon, Paul was equally at ease lecturing in academic settings as serving on medical mission trips. Paul had a unique talent of combining his specialties of mathematics, immunology, surgery, and wound healing to explore and improve the wound community and drew others in too. Paul served as the president of the Wound Healing Society. He also served as program co-chair for a Society annual meeting and course director for the Functional Diabetic Limb Salvage and Wound Healing Foundation Conference. Paul especially enjoyed helping organize the Wound Healing Foundation - Thomas K. Hunt Lecture Series to promote innovative thinking in the field of wound healing. Paul was a leader in the Wound Healing Foundation and continuously served the organization since 2012. Paul genuinely gave of himself and forged deep friendship connections that are treasured, even more so after his passing.

We remember Paul’s kindness, willingness, generosity, and enthusiasm in always striving to serve others. Paul’s legacy will continue to fuel the Foundation as we move forward.
