Healogics 11th Annual Diabetes Awareness Campaign, Chronic Wound Healing through Specialized Care

At Healogics, we’re proud to announce our 11th annual Diabetes Awareness Campaign throughout November, National Diabetes Awareness Month. As the nation’s leading provider of advanced wound care services, we understand the unique challenges faced by those living with diabetes, particularly when it comes to wound healing. 

Our dedicated specialists at over 600 Healogics Wound Care Centers® nationwide are committed to raising awareness about the critical importance of early intervention and specialized care for diabetes-related chronic wounds, especially diabetic foot ulcers

We understand the serious risks of diabetic foot ulcers. These wounds are a leading cause of lower-limb amputations, with the American Diabetes Association reporting that diabetes leads to an amputation every three minutes and 30 seconds. Up to one in four of the 37 million Americans with diabetes may develop a foot ulcer. Due to diabetes-related nerve damage, these hard-to-heal wounds often go unnoticed. That’s why we’re committed to raising awareness and providing specialized care to prevent these life-altering complications

The 2024 Diabetes Awareness Infographic provides important statistics about diabetes, foot wounds and amputations. Research shows that specialized wound care increases healing rates while decreasing the potential of an amputation.

The 2021 Diabetes Awareness Toolkit includes patient-education resources, including foot check guidelines and clinical research regarding advanced treatments for diabetic foot ulcers, including studies reviewing the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO).
