I am proud to introduce my volume in Elsevier’s series of Clinics in Geriatric Medicine entitled Pressure Injuries and Chronic Wounds. To complete this work I invited leaders in the field to share their knowledge and expertise with the goal of educating clinicians on the basics of wound care. It is both an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to bring together information that will improve care of vulnerable adults in an area where it is most needed.
