June is officially Wound Healing Awareness Month! 

Wound Healing Awareness month was created by the American Board of Wound Management Foundation (ABWM). The ABWM Foundation’s goal of Wound Healing Awareness month is to expose the need for certified wound care professionals and promote proper wound care for all. 

More About the ABWM Foundation  The ABWM Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. It benefits the healthcare industry by helping support the ABWM and promotion of wound care certification. It benefits the public by providing education and research to support wound care.

Wound Care Awareness Month (WHAM)

Another goal of Wound Care Awareness Month is to recognize those living with chronic wounds. There are currently over two million Americans suffering from chronic wounds. Unfortunately, the cost of wound care is on the rise. Americans are spending a collective $50 billion each year on wound care. By educating the public on proper wound care, the ABWM hopes to reduce this healthcare burden. 

Celebrating Certified Wound Care Professionals 

By celebrating certified wound care professionals, the ABWM hopes that more healthcare professionals will work to become wound care certified. Nurses, doctors, medical assistants, administrators, and sales professionals can all become wound care certified through the ABWM. Certified wound care professionals distinguish themselves among their colleagues by showing a dedication to wound care. By knowing more about wound management, these professionals also facilitate better outcomes for patients suffering with difficult or hard-to-heal wounds.

About WHAM – Wound Healing Awareness Month 

Wound Healing Awareness Month, or WHAM as the ABWM calls it, was founded in 2016. This is the ABWM’s fourth successful year promoting Wound Healing Awareness Month. Fitting with the acronym WHAM, the ABWM always opts for a fun, comic book theme, evoking a Roy Lichtenstein vibe. WHAM merchandise is available on their website.

June 17-21 is Certified Wound Specialists Week

Not only is it Wound Healing Awareness Month, but this week (June 17-21, 2019) is also Certified Wound Care Specialists Week. The ABWM dedicates this special week to all practitioners who have obtained their CWCA, CWS, or CWSP wound care certifications.
