Adventist Health wound healing and hyperbaric medicine physicians and nurses provide comprehensive wound care using a multidisciplinary, whole-patient approach to wound healing. We specialize in the advanced treatment of wounds caused by a variety of ailments.

Collaborative approach

Our physicians and nurses use a case management model to coordinate multidisciplinary care between primary care physicians, specialists, home health and the patients themselves to achieve the optimal outcome for difficult-to-heal wounds. We use in-house vascular testing to provide the latest state-of-the-art care to our patients. We provide frequent updates to the multidisciplinary team to ensure that all members of the patient’s care team are informed of a patient’s progress.
