Your First Visit
When you come in, our staff will evaluate your wound and general health. They'll also review your medical history. A blood test may be involved. You may also need special tests that give us information about blood flow and oxygen flow in the wound area.
Your Healing Program
When your test results are in, we'll put together a treatment program based on your special needs. This program will include regular visits to the Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine to provide treatment, evaluate progress and make any changes that might be needed. You (or your caregiver) will be given detailed instructions in home care, dressing (bandage) changes and protecting the wound from further injury.
The Team-Approach to Treatment
A variety of treatment options are available depending on type and severity of a wound. Treatment may include the following:
- Debridement (Removal of non-viable tissue from a wound)
- Diabetic education
- Infectious disease management
- Laboratory evaluation
- Lymphedema Therapy
- Nuclear medicine
- Nutritional management
- Radiology
- Surgical Services
- Vascular evaluation
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
We Specialize in Healing Chronic Wounds
If you're suffering from a non-healing wound, you're not alone. Every year, chronic wounds caused by diabetes, poor circulation or other conditions, keep millions of Americans just like you from doing things they love to do. But the Center for Wound Care can help you get your life back. Our unique multidisciplinary team of dedicated doctors and nurses treat more of these wounds than anyone else. Many patients find wounds that have resisted healing after months and even years of traditional treatment can be treated. It's all we do. In fact, for most patients, the Center for Wound Care program leaves them completely healed in just a few months.
