Wound & Hyperbaric Medicine Center

For most patients, wound healing is a relatively quick and simple process. But for some, problem wounds can lead to a severely compromised quality of life and sometimes even the loss of a limb. Wounds that resist healing for longer than 3 weeks should be considered for referral to a comprehensive wound treatment center.

The experts at the Jackson Hospital Wound & Hyperbaric Medicine Center combine the latest in wound care treatment with physical therapy, exercise, nutrition and diabetic counseling. This comprehensive approach treats not only nonhealing wounds but also underlying diseases or conditions. Our program is completely devoted to healing problem wounds and helping our patients reclaim their quality of life.

The River Region's Only Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chamber

We offer the latest in wound care technology—hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Patients relax in a pressurized chamber that delivers high concentrations of oxygen to the bloodstream and to the wound bed, which rapidly accelerates the healing process.

The center treats a variety of problem wounds, including diabetic ulcers, abscesses, decubitus ulcers, pressure sores, traumatic wounds, skin tears, surgical wounds, burns, spider bites, and wounds caused by peripheral vascular disease, venous insufficiency and thrombosis.

The highly skilled Jackson Hospital Wound & Hyperbaric Medicine Center team includes physicians, nurses and certified hyperbaric oxygen technologists.
