Jon StojanFor Wayne Manning Bass, II, founder of I Heal Wounds, the journey to revolutionizing wound care began long before the inception of his innovative healthcare service. With over 38 years of experience as a public speaker, Wayne’s career initially centered on inspirational personal development and growth across various venues nationwide. Bass also ventured into philanthropic endeavors and personally distributed $150,000 to single mothers and fatherless children across the US during the COVID pandemic, as well as distributing finances to community leaders in 12 different developing nations so that they could provide basic necessities to people in their communities. Evolving over time, his passion for entrepreneurship and business strategy led him to establish I Heal Wounds, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at transforming the way senior citizens receive specialized care.

Serving all 50 US States and Puerto Rico, I Heal Wounds specializes in advanced wound care for American seniors suffering from chronic wounds associated with conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, etc. Unlike traditional treatments that merely clean and rebandage wounds, often leaving patients vulnerable to infections and complications, this organization employs a cutting-edge non-surgical procedure known as human tissue skin grafting. This innovative method expedites healing and significantly decreases the likelihood of infections, amputations, and other severe complications, up to and including death.
What sets the organization apart is its commitment to providing care directly in the patients’ homes. This personalized approach not only enhances convenience for seniors and their families but also ensures a comfortable environment for treatment. Crucially, Medicare covers the cost of these services, eliminating any financial burden on the patients. “At I Heal Wounds, we believe in bringing healthcare directly to our patients’ homes,” explains Wayne. “This approach enhances convenience for seniors and their families, eliminating out-of-pocket expenses, as Medicare covers our services comprehensively.”
Operating for less than a year, I Heal Wounds has already made significant strides in Washington, DC, Boston, MA, New York, NY, Virginia Beach, VA, Atlanta, GA, Houston, TX, Dallas, TX, Los Angeles, CA, Baltimore, MD, and beyond. Wayne’s vision extends to establishing a network of 100 agents across the 50 largest U.S. cities, aiming to make advanced wound care accessible to a broader population. With an eye on underserved communities and middle-class individuals alike, Wayne sees I Heal Wounds as a beacon of hope for those in need of specialized medical attention without the inconvenience of hospital visits.
Despite its early success, Wayne acknowledges the challenges posed by the evolving political landscape and healthcare funding. However, his determination to expand and improve healthcare outcomes for seniors remains steadfast. Through his motivational seminars and coaching in Corporate America via the UPS world headquarters, Toyota, Ford, Jeep, Chevy, and AT&T, this visionary founder empowers his team while fostering a culture of compassion and excellence within I Heal Wounds.
As the organization continues to grow, Wayne remains focused on leveraging his expertise and passion to bring advanced wound care into the mainstream. With a deep understanding of both healthcare dynamics and the needs of his community, Wayne Bass, II, is poised to make a lasting impact on the healthcare industry.
Wayne’s journey is not just about healthcare innovation but also about breaking barriers. As an African American entrepreneur, he emphasizes the significance of diversity and inclusion in business leadership. “Historically, opportunities in healthcare entrepreneurship have been limited for people like me,” the founder reflects. “Today, as more visionary leaders emerge, including those from diverse backgrounds, we’re witnessing a transformative shift in the industry.”
Looking ahead, I Heal Wounds aims to expand its footprint nationally, with plans to recruit agents across major U.S. cities. Wayne envisions a future where I Heal Wounds becomes synonymous with compassionate, effective wound care for seniors nationwide.
As the healthcare landscape evolves, Bass remains steadfast in his mission to redefine healthcare delivery, one home visit at a time. With cutting-edge technology and a compassionate approach, I Heal Wounds is not just healing wounds – it’s restoring hope and dignity to seniors across America.
