columbushosp.org 15 A team of wound care specialists focused on you The W.O.C. team includes physicians and nurses with special training in wound care. They are able to give patients more personalized attention than a large medical center typically can provide. Led by Myron Morse, MD, the wound clinic’s medical director, the team includes Albin and podiatrist Brandon Borer, DPM; general surgeon Jacob Oran, MD; and several dedicated wound and ostomy care nurses. The team works with other specialists to speed up wound healing — for example, by helping patients with diabetes control their blood sugar and recommending essential nutrients in the right amounts to boost wound healing. “A lot of wound care is lifestyle-related,” Albin explained. In addition, patients have access to vascular and vein treatments so they can address circulation problems or other underlying causes of wounds. “We’ve worked hard to create a multidisciplinary wound care service,” Albin said. Indeed, the Wound Ostomy Clinic is a point of pride for our community. Move beyond your wound Ask your provider about wound care. For more information, call the Wound Ostomy Clinic at 402-562-4620.
