Wound Healing Month

Welcome to June, the month to focus on wound healing and prevention.

Wounds Canada is at the forefront of teaching the significance of proactive measures to circumvent wounds entirely. Prevention is vital for a healthy and vibrant life.

But what if prevention isn't achievable? That's where wound management is key. Wounds Canada is passionate about the following principles:

  1. Evading all avoidable wounds
  2. Prohibiting existing wounds from escalating to complex or chronic stages
  3. Redirecting all chronic wounds onto a healing path
  4. Enhancing and sustaining an excellent quality of life for patients with non-healing wounds

We fulfill our mission by: Disseminating information about wounds to the general public, health care professionals, and government representatives, Raising awareness about the struggles wound patients encounter navigating Canada's health care system and offering solutions and Lobbying governments across Canada to prioritize wound prevention, care, and research.

In unison, we can stop wounds from getting worse and the dreadful consequences that might ensue, such as hospital admissions, amputation, or even death. Let's raise awareness about wound healing this month and enlighten others on the necessary steps to maintain healthy, wound-free skin.
