Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains on Sept. 6 will host the Bronx-Westchester Academy of Family Physicians”™ annual Wound Healing Teaching Day in collaboration with the Montefiore Department of Family & Social Medicine.
A Burke spokesperson said the event is geared toward family medicine physicians and medical residents, nurses, nurse educators and nurse managers. It will feature discussions by wound healing experts, including Dr. Anna Flattau, director of the wound healing program at Montefiore Medical Center.
