The Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC) and Wound Care Education Institute (WCEI) have joined forces on a new initiative that will bring the Wound Care Certified (WCC®) credential to Southern California’s hospitals, long-term care providers and home health agencies. The goal of this collaboration is to improve specialized wound care education, skills and certification of nursing staff, and to dramatically expand the pool of talent available to hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and home health agencies trained in the prevention and treatment of skin and wound issues.
