Wound Care Advantage Walks to Stop Diabetes

Wound Care Advantage centers treat wounds associated with complications from diabetes and other related vascular disorders, cancer, trauma, surgical wounds, burns, infectious diseases and vasculitis. As our number one rule is "Patient Care is everything", we want to show our support for those affected by this disease. 

Wound Care Advantage will be participating in this year’s Los Angeles Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes on Saturday, November 2. 

Team Wound Care Advantage will use this opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of those affected by diabetes. To join our team, you do not have to work at Wound Care Advantage and can register by using the details below.
