Richmond University Medical Center : Center For Wound Healing

Richmond University Medical Center's Center for Wound Healing, located at 355 Bard Avenue in New York, is a part of a national network known for its high success rates in managing chronic wounds. Many managed care companies have recognized these locations as "Centers of Excellence" for wound care.

The Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Therapy at RUMC offers comprehensive wound care management for the people of Staten Island. The multidisciplinary team of specialists, including plastic surgeons, general surgeons, vascular surgeons, and podiatrists, work together to provide individualized care for each patient.

Patients often come to us as a last resort for help, and we have the expertise and support staff to provide advanced wound treatments in a comfortable hospital setting. Referrals can be made by primary care physicians or by calling the center directly.

Treatment plans are tailored to each patient's needs, with options such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which delivers oxygen to tissues to promote healing. This therapy has been proven effective for difficult wounds related to diabetes, radiation injury, and vascular disease.

Education is a key aspect of our care, as we aim to empower patients to prevent future wounds and ensure successful healing. Our clinical staff, including experts in plastic surgery, podiatry, and nurse practitioners, work together to provide the best possible care.

Regular updates on progress are provided to private physicians, and once the wound is healed, patients are referred back to their primary care provider for ongoing care. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact Richmond University Medical Center at 844.934.2273.
