Wound Care

When Wounds Heal, Lives Improve

Chronic wounds are defined as wounds that do not undergo the normal phases of healing in a timely and orderly fashion. We specialize in treating these types of wounds using advanced treatment modalities and a case management model.  Chronic wounds can be caused by diabetes, circulatory problems, infection and other conditions.  If a wound has not started to heal within two weeks or is not totally healed in six weeks, medical attention may be necessary to reduce the risk of complications including serious infection which could lead to amputation.

It may be time for you to explore your wound care options if you’re experiencing or having experienced any of the following:

• Diabetic wounds
• Pressure ulcers
• Venous stasis ulcers
• Arterial ulcers
• Vasculitic ulcers
• Non-healing surgical wounds
• Complex soft tissue wounds
• Traumatic wounds
• Infected wounds

In partnership with physicians, nurses and multiple medical disciplines, The Advanced Wound Care & Hyperbaric Center provides exemplary care for patients. Our center is home to a highly-qualified team of physicians and wound-certified nurses who follow a clinical pathway designed to heal patients quickly and thoroughly within 14 weeks. We offer on-site hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as an adjunctive therapy to help the healing process. HBOT has been shown to improve cellular regeneration, tissue oxygenation and collagen distribution and increase the effectiveness of antibiotics.
