Deaconess Wound Care CenterTM
 For most people, an open blister on the foot is easily solved with a bandage and changing shoes. But, for the millions of Americans whose natural healing process is hampered by poor circulation, diabetes or other causes, a simple blister can result in a chronic open sore, serious infection, gangrene and even amputation.
The Deaconess Wound Care Center™ offers a unique comprehensive therapy for treating chronic nonhealing wounds in central Oklahoma. Nearly five million Americans suffer with chronic open sores as a result of diabetes, pressure ulcers or circulatory problems.
"We are excited about the alternatives we can offer to patients with nonhealing wounds," said board-certified surgeon William Truels, MD, medical director of the Deaconess Wound Care Center. ‘This outpatient facility will meet the needs of patients, some of whom have suffered for years," stated Dr. Truels.
Patients are evaluated to determine any underlying condition, such as diabetes or poor circulation that might inhibit the natural healing process. After the assessment, an individualized treatment program is planned, including patient education to speed the healing process, prevent reoccurrence and avoid future injuries.
The 8,000-square foot Wound Care Center includes treatment rooms, offices and three hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers to help wounds heal faster. The Center is located in the Deaconess at Bethany medical facility, Street.
Deaconess Wound Care Center™ is part of a nationwide network of outpatient treatment centers managed by Curative Health Services. For more information about the comprehensive treatment at the Deaconess Wound Care Center™, call .
