The Center for Advanced Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine at Washington Adventist Hospital

The Center for Advanced Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine at Washington Adventist Hospital provides specialized treatment for chronic or non-healing wounds, which are defined as sores or wounds that have not significantly improved from conventional treatments. Associated with inadequate circulation, poorly functioning veins, and immobility, non-healing wounds lead to lower quality of life and may lead to amputations. When wounds persist, a specialized approach is required for healing. Typically, a wound that does not respond to normal medical care within 30 days is considered a problem or chronic wound.

That's where The Center for Advanced Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine can help. With the state-of-the-art treatments available including debridement, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), dressing selection, special shoes, and patient education, people with non-healing and chronic wounds now have a place to turn.
