Wound Care
Saint Mary’s Center for Wound Healing is focused on preserving limbs, advanced wound treatment, ostomy education and management, stoma marking, and supporting patients with their healing process. We use advanced technologies and treatment protocols to ensure our patients have the best experience and outcomes. We also offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO), which enhances oxygen levels in affected tissues so that normal healing mechanisms can take place.
Our program combines expertise from specialists such as infectious disease, vascular surgeons, plastic surgeons, podiatry, hyperbaric technologists, wound care certified physicians, nurses, and medical assistants.

When to Seek Treatment
If you have a wound that has not significantly began to heal within four weeks, or completely within two months, contact your primary care clinicians for a Wound Clinic referral. Wounds are often caused by diabetes, pressure ulcers, venous stasis, and peripheral vascular disease (PAD).
What Course of Treatment Will I Go Through?
During your first visit, our clinicians will evaluate your wound and review your medical history. You may also need non-invasive tests that give us information about blood and oxygen flow in the area of your wound. Course of treatment may include:
- Antibiotic therapy
- Diabetes education
- Education on wound prevention
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO)
- Non-Invasive Grafting for Faster Healing
- Nutritional services
- Protective footwear/Orthotics
- Surgical intervention
- Vascular testing
