Healing Diabetic Foot Wounds
St. Peter's Health Partners offers specialized care for patients who suffer from chronic wounds with hyperbaric medicine. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment where a patient breathes 100 percent oxygen while in a pressurized chamber. Our skilled and specially trained staff provide treatment for chronic wounds, along with education, support, and the resources each patient needs to maximize self-care and healing.
