Wound Care in Western Pennsylvania
Your Journey to Healing Starts Here
Living with a wound that won't heal? You're not alone. Approximately 10 million Americans suffer from chronic, non-healing wounds.* These sores are linked to infections, nerve damage and poor blood flow. Left untreated, they can significantly lower quality of life. In extreme situations, the result can be life-altering. When wounds persist, specialized care is essential.
At Conemaugh Health System Advanced Wound Center, your compassionate team of providers, nurses and technicians have advanced training in wound care management. We work with patients of all ages to accurately diagnose the cause of their wound and develop an effective, tailored treatment strategy focused on achieving positive healing outcomes.

Hyperbaric Services
Oxygen is essential for wound healing. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), a patient is given 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment in sessions, or dives, that can last 90 minutes to two hours. The combination increases the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream, enhancing your ability to rebuild tissue, fight infection and promote healing.
Up to 18% of wound care patients use HBOT treatments to boost wound healing. Physicians specializing in hyperbaric medicine oversee sessions with the assistance of clinically trained hyperbaric technicians. You must be evaluated by a provider first to qualify for this treatment. We provide HBOT services for conditions approved by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) and Medicare/Medicaid.
Hyperbaric medicine may help if you suffer from one of these indications:
- Crush injury
- Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis)
- Diabetic foot ulcer
- Osteomyelitis (refractory)
- Skin graft in danger of failing
- Sudden-onset hearing loss
HBOT sessions take place in a comfortable room with clear sides so you can see your surroundings and a TV for your enjoyment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a safe treatment, and we follow stringent safety protocols aligned with the UHMS, clinical practice guidelines, and industry best practices. We ensure every patient receives detailed information before their initial treatment.
