Mission
Statement
The Canadian Association of Wound Care is dedicated to the advancement
of wound care in Canada by co-ordinating a collaborative, interdisciplinary
effort among individuals and organizations involved with wound caring.
The association's efforts are focused on five key areas: public policy,
clinical practice, education, research and connecting with the international
wound care community. The CAWC works to significantly improve patient
care, clinical outcomes and the professional satisfaction of wound care
clinicians.

The affairs of the CAWC are managed by the Board
of Directors. The Board is structured to ensure that all regions in
Canada are represented. There must be two directors from British Columbia,
