Gritman Team Helps Moscow Man Recover from Cancer Treatment
Gritman General Surgeons and Wound Healing Center Help Heal Stubborn Surgical Wound
When health care is challenging, it can take a team to get back on track. Moscow resident Dennis Dionne found his recovery team at Gritman Medical Center. Dionne was facing a rough recuperation from cancer treatment after extensive surgery and radiation treatment on his lower pelvic region. While radiation can be an effective cancer-fighting technique, it has the tendency to reduce the body’s capacity to heal. Dionne faced continuous bleeding and festering at one of his surgical sites, and a Gritman team including Dr. Brian Newell of Gritman General Surgeons and Gastroenterology and Dr. John Brown III of the Gritman Wound Healing Center cooperated to drastically improve his health.
