‘Come Heal With Us’ isn’t just a slogan: It’s an urgent call to action this June. The Wound Care and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Center at Paris Regional Health, a member of the Healogics network, is shining a spotlight on chronic wound risks during the 11th annual Wound Care Awareness Week (June 9-13) and throughout the month. The Center’s 2025 outreach campaign, “Come Heal With Us,” targets underserved populations, emphasizing that when it comes to chronic wounds, early detection saves limbs and lives.

America is facing a hidden health crisis as chronic wounds surge at unprecedented rates, driven by our aging population and the rising incidence of chronic diseases. These wounds aren’t just surface problems; they are complex medical challenges often complicated by underlying conditions. Imagine someone living with diabetes who might also have compromised circulation and kidney issues—each condition creates another barrier to healing. The stakes are high: when wounds don’t heal, they can rapidly progress to dangerous infections that might risk amputations or even loss of life. This critical intersection of chronic disease and wound care represents one of healthcare's most urgent yet underrecognized challenges.

Our wound care experts strive to bring together people, processes, and technology to provide world-class wound care. With this in mind, now is the time for those suffering from chronic wounds to seek advanced wound care available at Paris Regional Health Wound Care and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Center.
