4 Bringing health care news to your home If you have a nonhealing wound, you know all too well how it can keep you from the activities you enjoy. What you should also know is that expert care is close by at Columbus Community Hospital’s Wound, Ostomy and Continence (W.O.C.) Health Center. A whole team of specially trained doctors and nurses provides exceptional care for wounds, including diabetes foot ulcers, wounds related to leg vein problems and pressure sores. Surgical debridement, advanced dressings and compression therapy are among the treatments the caregivers use. They also address root causes of wounds and empower you to play an active role in your care — all while being friendly and compassionate. “We joke around a little bit, which gives people something else lighter to think about,” said Myron Morse, MD, medical director of the clinic. “A lot of times they look forward to coming in, because we get to know them and talk to them about what they’ve been up to. And when we get someone healed, it’s a pretty good feeling. The patients are pleased. They’re no longer having to deal with this chronic issue, and they feel better about themselves.” In addition to treating wounds, the team also helps people manage ostomy and continence issues. As you might imagine, the staff at the W.O.C. Health Center has made a positive impact on the lives of many people in our community. Here are two of their stories.
