In this episode, we explore the powerful overlap between wound care and fall prevention—two areas that often affect the same high-risk populations. Malarie Bender, PA-C, from Boone County Hospital’s Wound and Hyperbaric Center, joins us to discuss why individuals prone to falls are also more likely to develop chronic wounds and what clinicians and caregivers can do to break that cycle.

We cover practical strategies like daily foot checks, supportive footwear, and safe transfer techniques that protect skin integrity and reduce shearing injuries. Malarie also shares insights on hyperbaric oxygen therapy—an emerging treatment offering new hope for patients recovering from radiation, diabetic ulcers, and other hard-to-heal conditions.

Whether you’re a therapist, nurse, or caregiver, this conversation highlights how small, proactive measures can prevent complications and support healing from the inside out.
