Alliance of Wound Care Stakeholders

The Alliance of Wound Care Stakeholders is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit multidisciplinary trade association representing physician specialty societies, clinical and patient associations whose mission is to promote evidenced-based quality care and access to products and services for people with chronic wounds. Through advocacy and educational outreach in the regulatory, legislative, and public arenas, the Alliance unites leading wound care organizations and experts to advocate on public policy issues that may create barriers to patient access to treatments or care. Our key focus areas are coding, coverage and reimbursement; quality measures and wound care research.

Since its founding in 2002, the Alliance has enabled the wound care clinical community to collectively and collaboratively engage on issues of commonality, elevating the visibility and united voice of wound care providers to regulators and policy makers.
