Wound Healing Foundation

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.

“Thank you for your graciousness. I am truly honored to have been selected as this year’s Wound Healing Foundation Solventum Fellow. It’s clear how impactful this experience will be for an early-career investigator with the Fellowship’s emphasis on exposure, mentorship, and community engagement with the field’s leaders and mentees. I’m especially excited to hear about the opportunities for continued involvement over the next few years, including the lecture and networking components, that I believe will foster career opportunities and rich collaboration with our field for years to come."
