Letter From The President
It all started in 2007, with a group of Physicians; all from different hospital systems in the Portland area. Their goal was the dissemination of knowledge about healing wounds. CWCC’s mission has not wavered. We continue to spread knowledge of the most up to date evidence-based practice in understanding the etiology of a wound, treatment, maintenance, and prevention. The wound is a symptom, often of a bigger issue.
People with like-minded focus and concern come together to discuss, share their root cause analyses, challenges, and creative innovations in the application of wound care.
Please join us. CWCC is an all volunteer association that needs your help. Your participation and attention will be appreciated.
It takes a village to do this work.
Kind Regards,
Elizabeth Feddersen FNP-C CWON, CFCN
CWCC President 2023-2026

Our History
The Columbia Wound Care Community (CWCC), formerly Columbia Wound Care Consortium, was founded in 2007 by a group of wound care physicians, nurses, and therapists in the Portland / Vancouver Metropolitan Area. This group of wound care specialists joined together to promote the fields of wound medicine and hyperbaric medicine.
They shared a philosophy of pooling resources and sharing information between local experts to benefit providers and those in need of specialized care required to treat hard to heal wounds.
For the past 19 years, CWCC has provided CEU/CME certified advanced practice symposiums and basic wound care workshops at low cost that are open to the multiple professions in the wound care community and students training in these professions.
