Specialized care for wounds that are difficult to heal

A surprising number of people require wound care at some point in their lives. Around 15 percent of patients with diabetes will have a chronic, non-healing wound during their lifetimes. Patients may experience a non-healing wound for reasons other than diabetes, such as radiation therapy, trauma or another medical condition.

The South Shore Hospital Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine focuses on treating the most difficult, non-healing wounds. Our expert wound care staff is highly skilled in the care of difficult, non-healing wounds. They are specially trained in wound management and hyperbaric treatment and are dedicated to remaining abreast of the latest advances in the field. Treatment options include the latest technology including hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Patients of the wound care center are considered part of the team committed to managing their condition. Working together, the team strives to manage pain, reduce risk of serious complications and helps accelerate healing.

The goal is to help our patients fully participate in life.
