Wound & Hyperbaric Medicine – AnMed Health

Chronic wounds can have a variety of causes. Diabetes, inactivity, chronic swelling and circulatory problems cause most hard-to-heal wounds. Up to 15 percent of the 20 million people living with diabetes are at risk of developing diabetic ulcers. Approximately 3 million Americans suffer from pressure ulcers. In others, ulcers are the result of disease in the veins and arteries. Traumatic injury, complications from radiation, surgery and skin disease can also cause stubborn wounds.

Located on the second floor of AnMed Health Cancer Center, Wound and Hyperbaric Medicine treats the following types of wounds:
