Wound Care & Healing

The Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Medicine Center at Weeks Medical Center is the only dedicated wound care center in the North Country. The center offers a comprehensive approach for treating patients with non-healing wounds or sores. The center is an outpatient, hospital-based program staffed by a team of medical specialists who work closely with a patient’s primary care provider to treat wounds that will not heal on their own. Our specialists thoroughly assess the underlying causes of each patient’s wound and recommend an individualized treatment plan. The center uses the latest scientifically proven methods, dressings, and technologies for the treatment of patients with non-healing wounds.

Types of Wounds

The Wound Healing Center treats all types of wounds—chronic wounds and acute wounds. Chronic wounds can be caused by ongoing systemic disease such as diabetes, poor circulation (blood flow), or chronic swelling or pressure on certain parts of the body such as the lower legs and feet. An acute wound may be the result of an accident, trauma, or surgery. Unlike less severe wounds, chronic or acute wound treatment requires ongoing care over a period of weeks or even months.
