For the City Times

Living with a chronic wound is dangerous. A wound that hasn’t healed in three weeks or more is considered a chronic wound and may require specialized treatment.

All ladies are invited to learn more about chronic wounds and how they can be healed at “Healing Groovy,” Aspirus Riverview’s Aspiring Women girls’ night out on Wednesday, Apr. 13, from 5:30 to 7 pm at the Hotel Mead, 451 East Grand Avenue, Wisconsin Rapids.

“Healing Groovy” will feature the staff of wound healing experts from Aspirus Riverview Wound & Hyperbarics. They will discuss the causes, symptoms and latest treatments for chronic wounds, including the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Ladies who attend will also sample healing refreshments and take home recipes and an Aspiring Women gift.

Attendance is free, but advance registration is required. Registration for “Healing Groovy” will open at 8 am on March 29. To register, visit aspirus.org/AspiringWomen or call 1-800-847-4707. Attendees must register individually.
