Philosophy
Fundamental network facilities are committed to delivering quality wound care to patients with a variety of comprehensive medical needs. The loss of skin integrity can severely affect the physiological, psychological, social and financial well being of the individual suffering from acute or chronic debilitation. Pressure ulcers and delayed wound healing are major causes of morbidity in patients already compromised by an acute or chronic illness, accident or injury.
