The Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (AAWC) is the preeminent multidisciplinary organization for wound care. AAWC is a nonprofit association, headquartered in the United States. This organization is open to everyone involved in wound care, including clinicians, patients and their lay caregivers, facilities, industry, students, retirees and others interested in the care of wounds. AAWC was conceived in 1995 to spread awareness by promoting excellence in education, clinical practice, public policy and research.
Our Mission: The AAWC gives its members the opportunity, through numerous Association
benefits and activities, to build a collaborative community to facilitate
optimal care for those who suffer with wounds. This community encourages
an equal partnership among all individuals who are involved in the
care of patients.
