Medina’s Wound Care Center now open 4 days a week

MEDINA – Orleans Community Health has announced the expansion of its Wound Care Center located at Medina Memorial Hospital.

Beginning on Monday, the center will now operate four full days each week, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

This expansion comes in response to the growing need for specialized wound care services in Orleans County and surrounding communities, said Scott Robinson, director of Marketing, Communication and Outreach. By extending the hours, the Wound Care Center aims to improve access to care and accommodate more patients with chronic or non-healing wounds.

“It wasn’t long ago that we were offering two days at the Wound Care Center in Medina Memorial Hospital,” said Lisa Albanese Klein, program director of the Wound Care Center. “The demand continues to grow for this care and we’re excited to be able to meet the moment for those in the community.”

“Our goal is to ensure that patients have timely access to advanced wound care treatments close to home,” said Marc Shurtz, CEO of Orleans Community Health. “This expansion reflects our commitment to meeting the healthcare needs of our community with high-quality, compassionate care.”

The Wound Care Center at Medina Memorial Hospital provides comprehensive, evidence-based treatment plans tailored to each patient, including advanced therapies and specialized care for diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries, surgical wounds and more.

Medina’s Wound Care Center was named a Center of Distinction for 2022 by Healogics, the nation’s largest provider of advanced wound care services. It has also received glowing reviews from patients whose serious wounds were healed.

“We have been extremely pleased with our service here at the Wound Care Center,” said Shirley Mancuso. “All nurses, doctors and receptionists have just been wonderful. We are so very thankful for all of the help we received here.”

“Three visits and I was done,” said Dorothy Dutcher. “I was surprised it was only three visits. I’m glad there was something like this in Medina. It was well worth it.”
