A highly specialized team of professionals works with each patient's private physician to develop an individualized plan of care.
With surgical lighting and space for patient education, the WHC also offers contact castings to relieve wound pressure, fittings for containment devices, urology services including biofeedback, e-stem and urodynamics, and other traditional wound care services.
The WHC is also proud to offer Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy (HBO), a painless way to help your body heal, especially wounds that have lingered for more than 30 days. HBO is a medical treatment that increases the amount of oxygen that is in the patient’s blood. HBO chambers surround patient with 100 percent oxygen at a higher than normal atmospheric pressure, allowing oxygen to pass more easily through the plasma into the wounds to heal them.
