MISSION STATEMENT
My approach to caring for patients is to empower patients with process knowledge and solutions. I consider myself a partner in each patient’s healthcare. I believe each patient must be informed and has access to all of the information necessary to help make the most important life decisions. I believe it my duty to be available day and night, and responsive to questions or concerns. A doctor’s oath is more than simply fulfilling ethical standards: it is prevention, it is cure, it is warmth, sympathy, and truth.
Dr Jenna Wishnew was featured on the Senior Care Confidential podcast with Brian Harmon PT MBA and Marina Lakhmanchuk DPT CLT
On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to fallen heroes and look at visible and invisible wounds. As I treat wounds, I am reminded that healing goes beyond skin deep, including the physical and emotional scars left behind by sacrifice and service.
Debridement is a significant part of wound care involving removal of dead or infected tissue from wounds. It plays an important role in wound management for a number of reasons and we’ll discuss what it is, why it is performed and its benefits for healing.
Hydrogen peroxide and alcohol are common antiseptics or germ killers on the local pharmacy and supermarket shelves. They are simple and easy to use but which one should you use for wound care?
