(HIGHLAND, IL) – An alarming 33% of Americans currently suffer from cardiovascular disease. During Heart Health Awareness Month, HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Wound Healing Center, a member of the Healogics network, is working to spread awareness about how cardiovascular diseases can affect the wound healing process. Chronic wounds affect approximately 6.7 million people in the United States and, if left untreated, an unhealed wound on the foot or leg can lead to a diminished quality of life and possible amputation. As many as 82% of leg amputations are due to poor circulation of the affected limb.
