Video Tour - - Wound Care Center
The Bayhealth Wound Care Center provides specialized treatment for chronic or non-healing wounds, which are defined as sores or wounds that have not significantly improved during the course of conventional treatment.
These wounds can cause severe health risks and may result in life-threatening infections, possibly amputation and debilitating health problems. With the state-of-the-art treatment available at the Bayhealth Wound Care Center, people with slow-healing wounds no longer have to suffer. Our comprehensive approach can heal wounds that have resisted other treatments, and help you avoid loss of limbs, reduce incidence of recurrence, and return to a higher quality of life.
John Brebbia, MD, FACS, CNSP, serves as the Medical Director of the program and coordinates an overall, customized care plan for each patient. All physicians, nurses and technicians have received specialized training in problem wound management and hyperbaric oxygen medicine.
