June is Wound Healing Awareness Month!
June is Wound Healing Awareness Month (WHAM!), a time to raise awareness about the challenges faced by individuals living with chronic wounds and to honor the vital work of wound care specialists. Throughout the month of June, the ABWM Foundation will highlight the importance of wound healing and provide resources to support both professionals and patients.
Certified Wound Care Specialists Week

During WHAM, we will also celebrate Certified Wound Care Specialists Week, recognizing the dedication of Certified Wound Care Associates® (CWCA®), Certified Wound Specialists® (CWS®), and Certified Wound Specialist Physicians® (CWSP®).
