Primary and total care
Blood pressure and vascular risk belong in the wound plan.
Non-healing lower-extremity wounds can reflect more than a local skin problem. Gateway keeps hypertension, circulation history, smoking, pain and tissue changes visible and escalates when specialty review is needed.
Why it matters
Vascular risk belongs inside a coordinated plan.
Gateway considers the immediate concern, the patient’s health, the established care team and the setting where daily care takes place.

Clinical boundaries
Some concerns need urgent or specialty care.
Gateway will say clearly when emergency care, vascular evaluation, surgery, podiatry or another service is the safer next step. Call 911 for urgent or life-threatening symptoms.
