Beatriz Coccaro-Word

Cape Coral, FL

Beatriz completed her initial training as a Registered Nurse in 1995 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Miami and graduated with a Master of Science in Nursing degree from Florida International University. She became certified by the American Board of Wound Management as a certified wound specialist (CWS) in 1999. With over twenty years of clinical experience in the field of wound healing, she continues to stay current with the latest evidence-based treatments and pursues excellence in education, completing a Doctor of Nursing Practice Degree in 2020. As a result, Beatriz brings to every patient a strong clinical knowledge coupled with a nursing holistic approach that not only focuses on the wound itself, but on the entire patient while considering other important aspects of the patient’s life such as the family, home and work environment, and social issues.
