Services
CWC provides holistic wound management to patients in Massachusetts and Connecticut at no additional expense to the facility. Most treatments are covered by Medicare/Medicaid and private insurances. Our weekly bedside service allows patients to remain in the comfort of their environment, reduces the costs associated with wound healing and prevents unnecessary hospital readmissions. Our commitment to care includes extending our services even after the patient is discharged.
