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
For many patients, dressing changes are the most uncomfortable part of wound care. With the right techniques, preparation, and support, pain can be minimized. This makes wound care safer, more effective, and easier to manage.
When treating a wound, most people focus only on the injury. However, the surrounding skin, called the periwound, plays a vital role in healing. Keeping it healthy helps protect against infection and supports faster recovery.
Healing doesn’t end at the clinic; your daily habits play a significant role. From hydration and nutrition to sleep and stress, small choices can either speed up recovery or slow it down. Learn how to promote better wound healing every day.
