Ostomy
“What I find most rewarding is helping patients regain confidence, independence and a sense of normalcy after surgery. I am passionate about guiding them through this life-changing transition, offering education, encouragement, and emotional support so they feel empowered to manage their own care.”
— Corinda, Ostomy Nurse at Gritman Wound Healing Center
Diabetes and Wound Care
Caring for your skin when you have diabetes
Try these tips to help prevent dryness, injury and other skin problems.
- Use warm water. Avoid hot water, which can dry out the skin.
- Use a bath soap that has a moisturizer added. Use soap only as needed (on your feet, underarms, and groin). Avoid deodorant soaps and antibacterial soaps. They may dry your skin.
- If your skin is dry, don’t use bubble baths. Use bath oil instead.
- Use a moisturizer after you bathe. But don’t put it on skin folds and between your toes.
- Use a home humidifier during cold weather and in dry climates

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.
