Specially trained staff use a blend of advanced and traditional clinical treatments, medicines, dressing and support services to treat these problem wounds, including offering Cleveland County’s only hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Candidates for wound therapy have pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, traumatic wounds, surgical wounds, vasculitis, burns and more.
