Sores that linger beyond four to six weeks can lead to serious complications, such as infection and ultimately amputation. Those with diabetes and others with poor circulation are especially at risk.

If you know someone susceptible to wounds, you’ll want to hear Dr. Dustin Arnold, St. Luke’s Wound Clinic medical director explain promising treatment options that speed healing time and minimize risk. This St. Luke’s LiveWell community program is free to attend.
