The team at Thorek Memorial Hospital works hard to understand issues affecting a patient's ability to heal. With that knowledge our doctors and nurses evaluate and address the best way to treat the wound itself.

Patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers, compromised skin grafts, refractory osteomyelitis, radiation tissue injury, peripheral ischemia and a host of necrotizing skin infections can benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
