Wound Center
Time does not heal all wounds
For most people, wound healing is a natural process that occurs in a predictable and timely manner. For some, however, it becomes a complex medical problem requiring specialized treatment. If you suffer with a wound that isn’t healing in a reasonable amount of time, we may be able to help.
Our trained specialists follow a multidisciplinary approach and use the most advanced technologies available to heal complicated wounds. Each patient receives a comprehensive, individualized plan of care to help heal complicated wounds. We understand that each patient has unique needs and we create a treatment plan that takes this into consideration. Our staff will coordinate with your primary care physician and other care providers to ensure the best possible outcome.
We use the most advanced wound healing therapies and dressings available. Treatment modalities include: wound debridement, compression therapy, bio-engineered dressings, off-loading, antibacterial treatment, vacuum-assisted wound closure, hyperbaric medicine and patient education to help manage your unique health issues that will affect wound healing.
The Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center is staffed by experienced physicians and other healthcare professionals who are specially trained in wound management and hyperbaric medicine. The success of our facility is a reflection of our dedicated staff, who provide unparalleled service to our patients. Our staff continuously attends educational seminars to remain on the cutting edge of advanced wound care.
