🌟 Happy Hump Day! 🌟

A special message from our Vice Chair, Dawn Franceschina, PT, DPT, CWS®, on why she passionately supports :

"I support Wound Healing Awareness Month because I really don't think that the general public has a great understanding of what it means to live with a chronic wound. The financial impact, the shame, or the mental health impact that it has on our patients – the socio-economic impact. And so, if we can do our part, just a little bit of that awareness for the public to understand what it means to live with a chronic wound, I think we're doing great work.”

We want to hear from YOU! Follow us, tag us, and use our hashtags this month to showcase the phenomenal work you're doing in . Each Thursday, the ABWM Foundation team will feature the best post on our official social media accounts.

At the end of the month, one lucky winner will receive a $100 Giftogram! The Thursday post with the most likes across our social media accounts will be our grand prize winner. 🎉
