The Atlantic General Hospital Wound Care Center is an out-patient program that works in conjunction with your primary care physician to provide specialized treatment for problem wounds.

Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and poor circulation can all contribute to chronic, non-healing wounds.

Appointments
Patients can be referred by their primary physicians or schedule appointments directly if a referral is not required for insurance purposes. To find out how to schedule an appointment, call 410-62-WOUND (629-6863).

Insurance Coverage
Many health plans, including Medicare, cover specialized wound care. Your coverage depends on your specific plan.

Be sure to bring your insurance cards with you when you visit the Wound Care Center.

Wound Care Center of Excellence Award:

Atlantic General Hospital’s Wound Care Center has been named a Center of Excellence by Diversified Clinical Services after receiving a second Center of Distinction Award for delivering outstanding results for twelve consecutive months in 2009. Atlantic General delivered healing outcomes far above the Diversified national benchmarks. The healing rate at Atlantic General’s Wound Care Center for 2009 was 95 percent, compared to the national benchmark of 79.5 percent. Atlantic General cut the benchmark for time required to heal a wound nearly in half with a median of 27 days to heal. Consequently, their patient satisfaction score is 97.1 percent, six points above the national benchmark set forth by Diversified.  Diversified names only nine percent of its wound care centers as Centers of Excellence.
