St. Joseph’s Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine exists to help people
heal wounds. It is a comprehensive. outpatient wound care center serving Syracuse and the central New York
region.
The staff of this center includes physicians, podiatrists, nurses, technicians and support staff,
all dedicated to providing advanced wound care.
Despite the fact that their patients often have multiple medical problems and have typically failed
treatment elsewhere, the vast majority (over 90% in one recent quarter) of people who come to this center are
able to heal their wounds.
Wound care centers provide help for people with very challenging situations. Most wounds heal
without much difficulty. When that doesn’t happen, it means that something has gone seriously wrong. Problems
such as diabetes, heart problems, poor circulation, kidney failure, poor nutrition and more can all halt
healing. Proper treatment means not only caring for the wound but addressing any associated problems as
well.
A number of specialized treatments might be used. These include:
-
Advanced wound dressings individualized to a given wound
-
Wound debridement
-
Nutritional support and supplementation
-
Negative pressure therapy
-
Total contact casting
-
Biologic skin grafts
-
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
-
Compression wraps

the St. Joseph’s Center for Wound Care offers such a wide range of treatment options.

site.
