MedStar St. Mary’s Wound Healing Center Officially Opens

MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital will open the doors to its latest state-of-the-art facility, the MedStar Center for Wound Healing today, Dec. 18. The center offers treatment to those with venous stasis and diabetes, as well as those with pressure sores, burns, post-surgical, post-radiation and other non-healing wounds.

The progressive center offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It’s a simple yet effective treatment process in which a patient breathes pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber – stimulating the body’s natural healing capabilities.  The combination of high pressure equal to being 33 to 45 feet under the ocean and pure oxygen can help your body heal itself at a quicker rate than traditional treatments.

The center is fully staffed with a highly skilled multi-disciplinary team made up of experienced medical and program directors as well as a team of physician specialists, nurses and technologists trained to use the latest assessment and therapeutic methods.

MedStar Health and MedStar St. Mary’s have partnered with Healogics to bring this progressive center to Southern Maryland. Healogics is the largest provider of wound care and related disease management in the country.

If you suffer from chronic wounds, please call 240-434-7670 to make an appointment.
