Wound Healing Awareness Month

June is Wound Healing Awareness Month!

The ABWM Foundation has named June as Wound Healing Awareness Month (WHAM!).  The annual celebration was created to raise awareness for wound healing and recognize the challenges experienced by individuals whose lives are affected daily by chronic wounds. Throughout the month of June, the ABWM Foundation will bring awareness to the work of wound care specialists on wound healing and provide useful educational resources.

In addition to Wound Healing Awareness Month, the ABWM Foundation designated June 12– June 16, 2023 as Certified Wound Care Specialists Week.  This week celebrates all practitioners certified by the American Board of Wound Management which includes Certified Wound Care Associates®, Certified Wound Specialists®, and Certified Wound Specialist Physicians®.
