Free foot ulcer screenings offered

Diabetics have a greater risk of developing a foot ulcer than the rest of the population.

If you or someone you know is suffering with a foot ulcer, the sooner a wound is treated, the greater the chances of healing. Having an open wound can have serious health consequences.

Here’s a chance to have a free foot ulcer consult visit. It’s happening this week.

Call the Center for Wound Healing at Elkhart General Hospital at 574.524.7400 in advance to schedule a free foot ulcer consult visit between 1 and 3 p.m. on Fri., March 23.

You will receive an appointment time in advance.

Please note that the Center for Wound Healing is located in the RiverPointe Medical Office building at 500 Arcade Ave., Suite 310, Elkhart.
