To help meet the needs of patients with chronic wounds, Crozer-Keystone Health System offers the Crozer-Keystone Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine, located in the North Campus building on the Crozer-Chester Medical Center campus, 301 W. 15th St., Chester.
Millions of Americans suffer with chronic, non-healing wounds associated with diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, autoimmune disease and conditions that reduce their mobility. In these patients, wounds do not respond to a conservative course of treatment over a period of six to eight weeks. The Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine offers patients suffering from chronic wounds access to advanced outpatient wound care, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Crozer’s multidisciplinary wound center staff comprises vascular surgeons, plastic surgeons, podiatrists and associated health care professionals. This team provides each patient with an evaluation, diagnosis and treatment plan, as well as education to enhance the treatment outcome and prevent recurrence. The center’s medical director is William Mannella, M.D., chairman of the Department of Surgery at Crozer-Chester Medical Center.
