Prisma Health Midlands Foundation launches Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Oxygen Center capital campaign
Prisma Health Midlands Foundation is raising funds for the development of a Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Oxygen Center at Prisma Health Baptist Hospital. The new center will advance and expand Prisma Health’s current wound treatment in the Midlands area – reducing diabetic limb amputations and the loss of lives.
The Prisma Health Midlands Foundation Board of Directors, in collaboration with Prisma Health Midlands Foundation, is leading a $2 million capital campaign to help fund this new center.
The new center will offer multi-disciplinary care for diabetic patients, including podiatry, internal medicine, surgery and hyperbaric medicine. The facility will house three state-of-the-art Sechrist hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) chambers. HBO patients breathe 100% oxygen while under pressure in the chamber, allowing more oxygen to be absorbed in the blood stream and plasma, which is then delivered to areas of the body that are having trouble healing due to lack of oxygen in the surrounding tissues.
