The Finley Hospital's Wound Healing Center
Finley's Wound Care Center provides a multidisciplinary approach to the healing of wounds related to pressure ulcers, diabetes, venous stasis or arterial insufficiency. The following specialists are available at the center on an as-needed basis: physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, dietitians and other healthcare specialists.

Services provided by The Finley Hospital Wound Care Center

  • Thorough wound assessment - identify all underlying disease factors
  • Wide variety of conventional and specialty wound treatment
  • Patient/family/professional education - vital information on disease process, treatment, and services
  • Physician-directed care
  • Care management by a RN extensively trained in wound care 
  • Durable medical equipment consultants (provide medical equipment when needed)

A Safe, Convenient & Cost-Effective Approach
The Finley Wound Care Center is a service for the treatment of chronic, non-healing wounds that do not respond to ordinary methods. It also offers patients and their families an opportunity to learn about their disease and how to become involved in the treatment.

The center offers thorough wound assessment by specially-trained staff, implementation of care, education, and follow-up to monitor progress of wound healing. This personalized care plus a little encouragement promotes healing, prevents infections, prevents re-injury, reduces hospital stays and allows patients to remain in the familiar surroundings of their own homes.

Patients may self-refer or contact your personal physician for a referral.

Hyperberbaric Oxygen Therapy
To help in your healing, you may be referred for hyerbaric oxygen therapy, a simple but effective treatment in which you breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber.

The chamber has clear sides through which you can see your surroundings, and is in a comfortable treatment room equippedwith TV and videos. The therapy quickly and safely delivers high concentrations of oxygen to your bloodstream, which helps increase your body's own natural wound-healing abilities.
