Approximately 8 million people in the U.S. live with chronic wounds, more than the number of people with breast, colon and lung cancers combined. These wounds, which persist and won’t heal, often are caused by diseases like diabetes that affect blood circulation. Chronic wounds also may occur in people who use wheelchairs or are bedridden.

Our wound care team may include doctors, wound care specialty nurses, physical therapists and other experts. We provide advanced treatments to accelerate healing and manage troublesome wounds.

When you send a patient to the Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine team at Intermountain, you can trust that our specialists will keep you in updated through every step of your patient’s care. Plus, the earlier you send a patient to us to manage their wound care, the better chance they have of healing quickly and fully.
