Sometimes wounds need more than time to heal, they need expert attention. At WMCHealth, we provide wound care that blends medical expertise with personal attention. Our goal is to help you heal more quickly.
As part of WMCHealth, our wound specialists deliver advanced treatments across the Hudson Valley. With options such as advanced dressings, debridement, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, we provide the tools and support your body needs to recover.
We are pleased to announce our centers have received accreditation from the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS).
UHMS accreditation means our facility has met or exceeded the highest standards of care and patient safety through rigorous evaluation of our operations, including equipment, staff and training to ensure that the utmost quality is maintained within the specialty of undersea and hyperbaric medicine.

A Team Approach to Wound Care
Healing takes teamwork. At WMCHealth, your care team may include primary care doctors, surgeons, vascular specialists, podiatrists, and wound care nurses. Depending on your needs, you may also work with physical therapists, dietitians, or other experts.
Each specialist brings a different perspective to your care. For example, a podiatrist can help prevent serious complications, including amputation. Having a team means your specialists look at the whole picture—your wound and your overall health.
For Wounds That Need Something More
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be recommended if your wound is not healing with standard treatments. At Westchester Medical Center, the flagship member of the WMCHealth network, you can receive this therapy in a comfortable setting. Concentrated oxygen helps your body repair itself by improving circulation, fighting infection, and promoting new tissue growth.
