Wound Care

Healing Quickly is Your Best Medicine

The Christian Hospital Wound Care and Hyperbarics Center takes a comprehensive approach to the treatment of chronic, non-healing wounds — one that’s focused on healing. Through our partnership with Healogics, we have the expertise and advanced tools to completely heal wounds that have resisted other conventional treatments.

When you have a wound that won’t heal, you need an individualized treatment plan that will quickly get you on the road to recovery. Our compassionate, multidisciplinary team of physicians and specialty-trained wound care nurses and staff consistently receives high patient satisfaction scores, with more than 90 percent seeing complete healing in 36 days or less. And as the only dedicated wound care center in North St. Louis County, we deliver this world-class care in a convenient location.

To provide our patients with comprehensive care, the Christian Hospital Wound Care and Hyperbarics Centers uses an interdisciplinary approach, including infectious disease management, physical and occupational therapy, laboratory evaluation, vascular education, nutritional and pain management, diabetic education, radiology testing and surgical debridement. Partnered with Healogics, we have access to an extensive database of wound cases, allowing us to utilize evidence-based care in treating our patients.

Some of the conditions we treat at the Wound Care and Hyperbarics Center include:

  • Acute wounds
