HMSL’s Wound Care Council hosted the 5th Annual Wound Care Conference on April 23, 2016 with a focus on caring for bariatric patients.
The conference had a great turnout with more than 90 people in attendance. Attendees consisted of HMSL nurses, nurses from local rehabilitation facilities, as well as students from area schools.
A variety of speakers ranging from bariatric surgeons to certified wound care nurses presented on topics that focused on skills and techniques to help health care providers provide the best care for wound care patients, particularly bariatric patients.
Furthermore, vendors from different companies were present as well to speak about their products and how to use them to properly care for our bariatric patients. Attendees earned CEs from the HMSL Education Department.
This conference is held yearly in the spring and continues to grow each year.
