Working with the patient’s physician, the team develops an individualized plan that combines traditional practices with state-of-the-art technology to ensure that chronic wounds no longer mean perpetual suffering.
Memorial’s Wound Management Services combine traditional practices and medicines with state-of-the-art technology, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Why a wound won’t heal
For nearly 25 million Americans, several factors from diabetes and other specific conditions to increased challenges due to the aging process in general, lead to chronic, non-healing wounds. In some cases, these wounds can take weeks, months or even years to fully heal, dramatically affecting a patient’s quality of life. Memorial’s wound care specialists make up an integrated team of health professionals that specialize in managing complex and difficult wounds.
