    • SAWC continues to set the standard for a truly comprehensive and collaborative national wound care meeting. If you only attend one meeting per year, this is the one to attend.

    • I have been attending this conference for over 20 years and I always come home with new and exciting information to share with my patients to improve their wound healing outcomes and therefore their quality of life.

    • The conference was fantastic in all ways, with a variety of topics available to choose from that target my specific setting, as well ample opportunities to network.
