The Columbia Wound Care Consortium (CWCC) is a group of physicians, nurses, and wound care specialists in the Portland / Vancouver metropolitan area who have joined together to promote the fields of wound medicine and hyperbaric medicine.
Our members include local inpatient and outpatient wound care providers from area hospitals who feel that the pooling of resources and sharing of information between local experts in the field will benefit all who provide and are in need of specialized care of difficult to heal wounds.
To raise community awareness of scientific advances in wound care and to be a resource to wound care providers through education, consultation, and promotion of evidence-based, advanced wound care practice.
We envision the highest level of wound care being available to people of the greater Portland / Vancouver metropolitan area.
