Advanced Wound Care
Innovative Treatment for Chronic Wounds
Every year chronic wounds caused by poor circulation, diabetes, or related conditions keep three to five million Americans from doing the things they love. CHI Health Advanced Wound Care applied proven wound care practices and advanced clinical approaches, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, to heal patients who suffer from chronic wounds. Additionally, our center has the opportunity to participate in clinical trials utilizing the latest wound care products, dressings and antibiotics not yet available to the general public.

Hyperbaric Medicine is administered to patients in a comfortable, spacious chamber pressurized with 100% pure oxygen.
