Education
Putting wound care education at the forefront
At Peaks Advanced Medical, education is a vital part of every wound care journey. We are committed to equipping patients and caregivers with the information, tools, and confidence they need to understand their diagnosis, follow treatment plans, and participate actively in the healing process. Our educational focus extends beyond clinical procedures to include the “why” behind care decisions, supporting better outcomes through patient empowerment.
Why does education matter in wound care?
Informed patients heal better. At Peaks Advanced Medical, we believe education strengthens the partnership between our care team and those we serve.
- Understanding the nature of their wounds helps individuals engage actively in their care.
- Awareness of factors affecting healing empowers patients to support their recovery effectively.
- Knowledge of treatment steps increases the likelihood of following recommendations.
Topics we cover with patients & caregivers
We provide tailored education based on each patient’s wound type, health status, and individual needs. Common topics include:
Understanding your wound
We explain the wound type, how it developed, and factors affecting healing—whether it’s a pressure injury, diabetic ulcer, surgical wound, or skin tear.
Stages of healing
Patients learn about typical healing phases and what progress looks like over time to set realistic expectations and ensure timely attention to changes.
Signs of infection
We review symptoms such as swelling, warmth, discharge, or odor, and explain when to seek medical care.

From dressing changes to medication schedules, we ensure patients understand their care plan and the purpose behind each step.
Self-care between visits
We coach patients and caregivers on protecting the wound, maintaining hygiene, and making daily habit adjustments that promote healing.
