We are thrilled to announce our partnership with SoTV (Society of Tissue Viability) for this campaign, as we believe in the power of storytelling and want to shine a light on the incredible work that is done by countless professionals, like yourself, every day. Wound care is a tapestry woven with diverse threads – from nurses and podiatrists to physicians, therapists, and specialists. This campaign aims to unite these varied professions under one banner, fostering a sense of pride and community. Together with SoTV, we’re excited to amplify the stories of these dedicated professionals and celebrate their contributions to the field of wound care.
