The Center for Wound Care

Columbia Memorial Hospital now offers the diagnosis and treatment of chronic, non-healing wounds at offices at Jefferson Heights, Catskill. Difficult-to-heal wounds result from injury, vascular disease, diabetes, surgery complications, arterial or venous disorder. Non-healing wounds sometimes lead to serious complications. About five million Americans suffer from chronic open wounds. However, most wounds can be healed with appropriate, comprehensive treatment. The services of the Center for Wound Care at Columbia Memorial Hospital are designed to integrate protocols to ensure that patients get maximum care. The service is being offered now in an outpatient setting.

Dr. Luis Jácome, a surgeon at Columbia Memorial, is the Medical Director of the Center. He has developed a set of specific wound treatment protocols. However, if necessary, Dr. Jácome will refer patients to another physician, nutritionist, or healthcare professional depending on the type of wound the patient has. Dr. Mark Schilansky also sees patients at the Center for Wound Care.
