Wound Center

Columbus Regional Health's recently expanded Wound Center now includes Hyperbaric Oxygen Medicine for chronic and non-healing wounds. In addition, the Wound Center includes physicians and nurses trained as specialists in wound care and Hyperbaric Oxygen Medicine. The addition of nursing staff allows for individualized case management at each visit and access to the physician on a regular basis, which allows for more extensive treatment to accelerate the healing process.

Columbus Regional Health's Wound Center is located within the hospital's 10^th Street Outpatient Services location (at the intersection of 10^th Street and Schnier Drive.)

The Center's Hyperbaric Treatment Room has two hyperbaric chambers with the capacity to expand to three chambers. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, which is administered on a daily basis, allows a patient to breathe 100 percent oxygen (2-3 times greater than atmospheric pressure). The increased oxygen in the tissue creates the optimal environment for the body's natural healing processes to repair damaged tissue.

Our Wound Center Physicians include:

• Dr. John Hladik
• Dr. Douglas Roese
• Dr. Robert Kavelman
• Dr. Tyler Grout
• Dr. Kathleen Smith
• Dr. N. Strait Hill
