Time May Not Heal All Wounds
Everyone has heard that time heals all wounds, but the truth is that without advanced therapies, some wounds take years and even decades to heal, while others do not respond to treatment at all.
The Parrish Wound Healing Center specializes in healing wounds related to diabetic conditions, as well as wounds unresponsive to other wound care methods. The Center uses the most advanced technology and treatment options available today including hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used for the treatment of chronic wounds and is performed in a hyperbaric chamber that helps deliver the prescribed amount of oxygen to the patient's body tissue and thus begins the healing process. The Parrish Wound Healing Center features the Perry Sigma Plus hyperbaric chamber - the most technologically advanced system available today.
"Our board of directors approved the acquisition of the Perry Sigma Plus hyperbaric chamber because Parrish Medical Center is dedicated to providing the best possible care available anywhere to our patients," said George Mikitarian, president and chief executive officer of Parrish Medical Center. "We are proud to offer our community the only comprehensive hospital-based wound care facility with hyperbaric technology on-site. Patients do not have to travel to multiple locations to get treatment. It is all done right here, close to home."
The Parrish Wound Healing Center is located in the North Building of the campus. For more information please email us or call 268-6795.
