Association for the Advancement of Wound Care Acknowledges 2014 Corporate Sponsors and Announces Open Enrollment for the 2015 Sponsorship Program

MALVERN, Pa., Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (AAWC) recognizes the generous support of its 2014 corporate sponsors and announces open enrollment for the 2015 AAWC Corporate Sponsorship Program. This year's AAWC Corporate Sponsors include:  3M Skin and Wound Care, KCI Medical, Molnlycke Health Care US LLC, Organogenesis, Smith & Nephew, and Smith & Nephew Biotherapeutics. Corporate support is paramount to sustaining the association's programs and activities.

A highly-sought benefit of sponsors is participation on the AAWC Corporate Advisory Panel (CAP). The CAP allows close interaction with AAWC leadership and key industry partners who collaborate on issues including education, public awareness and government/regulatory affairs. As stakeholders with the common purpose of helping patients, the panel also focuses on elevating standards of wound care practice in developing areas worldwide.

Recent CAP collaboration has resulted in an initiative to educate the generalist. This education is intended to help new wound care practitioners and non-wound care specialists (or generalists) learn the most current, evidence-based practices in wound care.  More information can be found at www.aawconline.org/education-for-the-generalist.

Through the leadership of AAWC's dedicated Healthcare Public Policy Committee, AAWC's CAP members also receive unbiased information and support, when appropriate, on matters of government and regulatory affairs. Additionally, AAWC reciprocates its dedication to the entire wound care industry with free seminars for corporate representatives.

The Association's 2015 sponsorship campaign is underway. Please contact AAWC by email at [email protected] or by calling 800.237.7285, extension 113 for more information and/or to become a sponsor. Many sponsorship benefits apply.
