A wound that needs ongoing care can affect more than the person living with it. Family members and caregivers often help arrange appointments, provide transportation, and manage the demands of repeated visits. Having care nearby can make that routine easier.

Beginning October 14, 2026, Community Quick Care will offer specialized wound care every Wednesday with John Wright, FNP, our wound care specialist, right here in La Vergne.

Who might benefit from wound care

You may already know someone who could benefit from a wound care appointment: a parent, spouse, neighbor, friend, or someone you help care for. Wounds that are slow to heal or require ongoing attention may need professional evaluation and follow-up.

Examples include:

• Diabetic wounds and ulcers
• Pressure sores and bedsores
• Wounds that are not healing as expected
• Surgical wounds, skin tears, and injuries that need continued care

An appointment gives the provider an opportunity to evaluate the wound and discuss the next steps in care. The care plan depends on the individual patient and the wound.

A closer option for caregivers

If you care for someone who is seriously ill, elderly, living with diabetes, or has limited mobility, you know how much planning a medical appointment can require. Transportation and repeated follow-up visits can add to an already demanding schedule.

Local wound care can reduce the need for longer trips to Nashville or Murfreesboro. Instead of spending more time on the road, families have an option in their own community. Travel times vary by starting point and traffic.

For patients who need ongoing monitoring or dressing changes, access to nearby care can make appointments easier to manage for both the patient and caregiver.

You do not have to be a current patient

This service is available to people beyond our existing patient base. If a family member, friend, or neighbor may need wound care, they can contact Community Quick Care about an appointment even if they have never visited us before.

If you are arranging care for a loved one, let our team know that you are helping coordinate their appointment.
