Protein plays a critical role in the body’s healing process. It supports tissue repair, collagen production, immune function, and the regeneration of damaged cells. When the body does not receive enough protein, healing can slow and the risk of complications may increase—especially for patients recovering from wounds, surgery, or chronic conditions.
At Encompass Healthcare, we take a comprehensive approach to healing that includes advanced medical care and nutritional support. Proper protein intake helps give your body the building blocks it needs to heal effectively and efficiently.
