Wound Care
Chronic, non-healing wounds, those that haven’t shown signs of improvement in several weeks or are not responding to typical treatments, need extra help to heal. Difficult wounds of this type are often caused by injury, disease or poor blood supply. The Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine at Longview Regional Medical Center provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy and specialized treatments for these types of wounds.
The Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine at Longview Regional Medical Center is an outpatient clinic that specializes in treating patients with chronic, slow- or non-healing wounds. We offer evidence-based protocols and advanced treatment to ensure our patients' wounds heal quickly. Our specially trained team of doctors, nurses and technicians provide cost-effective wound care to all patients, enabling them to return to a full life free from the pain of chronic wounds.
Our multi-disciplinary panel of physicians specializes in podiatry, general surgery, plastic surgery and general medicine and offers our patients a well-rounded approach to wound healing.
We manage the healing process from start to finish, ensuring the patient has a consistent plan of care.
