We Specialize in Healing Chronic Wounds If you're suffering from a non-healing wound, you're not alone. Every year, chronic wounds, caused by diabetes, poor circulation or other conditions, keeps millions of Americans just like you from doing things they love to do. The Center for Wound Care can help you get your life back. Our unique multidisciplinary team of dedicated doctors and nurses treat more of these wounds than anyone else.  Many patients find wounds that have resisted healing after months and even years of traditional treatment can be treated. It's all we do. In fact, for most patients, the Center for Wound Care program leaves them completely healed in just a few months.

At any given time, almost six million Americans suffer from chronic, non-healing wounds. Many are associated with complications from diabetes and vascular dis. Non-healing wounds also occur in pressure sores and traumatic wounds.

When Should I Consider Using the Advanced Wound Care Center? If you have a sore or wound that is not significantly better in a month, or healed entirely in two months, ask your doctor about the McKenzie-Willamette Advanced Wound Healing Center.

Your First Visit When you come in, our staff will evaluate your wound and general health. They'll review your medical, wound and medication history. A blood test may be involved. You may also need special tests that give us information about blood flow and oxygen flow in the wound area. Your Healing Program When your test results are in, we'll put together a treatment program based on your special needs. This program will include regular visits to the McKenzie-Willamette Wound Healing Center to provide treatment, evaluate progress and make any changes that might be needed. You (or your caregiver) will be given detailed instructions in home care, nutrition, dressing (bandage) changes and protecting the wound from further injury. You're a Vital Part of the Program Much of the success of your treatment depends on you. You must keep your appointments, follow directions carefully and watch your progress closely between visits. At any time you or your family members have questions, our staff is available. In fact, we encourage you to ask questions.

HYBERBARIC CHAMBERS
Two Hyperbaric Chambers are part of our wound-care-healing tools. These are the only two such chambers in the Central Willamette Valley. The 100% transparent chambers, so that patients can see and be seen, provide patients with TV/VCR and CD player, along with phone communications for those visiting.

These non- invasive clear acrylic chambers provide 100% oxygen to promote the optimum healing opportunity. While breathing pure oxygen, the patient's blood plasma becomes saturated, carrying 20 to 30 times the normal amount of oxygen to the body's tissue.  The ultimate result is the body's natural wound healing mechanisms (which are oxygen dependent) are able to function more efficiently. Continued use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment increases the body's immune and healing response. Our Certified Hyperbaric Technician will educate you with the knowledge to complete this treatment with the best results.
