CHI Memorial Wound Healing Center

We specialize in treating chronic, non-healing wounds caused by diabetes, vascular diseases, pressure ulcers, post-surgical complications, radiation injuries and more.

Some insurance providers may require a referral from your primary care doctor. Contact your insurance company to confirm if a referral is necessary.

Our professional medical staff with specialized wound training offer state-of-the-art topical treatments, adjunctive therapies, noninvasive diagnostic studies, wound debridement, devices for relief of pressure wounds, compression therapy and physical therapy. Our advanced treatments include:

• Artificial skin and skin substitutes

• Growth factor therapy

• Compression therapy

• Ultrasound therapy

• Vacuum-assisted wound closure

• Wound debridement

• Advanced wound dressings

Compression helps reduce swelling and boosts blood flow to the wound area. We may recommend compression stockings, wraps or devices to aid healing, especially for wounds caused by circulation issues, like diabetic and venous ulcers.

Debridement removes dead tissue from the wound to expose healthy tissue, prevent infection and enhance healing. We offer various debridement methods tailored to your needs.

Our specialized dressings manage the wound surface and protect surrounding tissue, maintaining moisture, absorbing drainage and shielding against bacteria for optimal healing. We also provide guidance on home care and dressing inspection to support your healing.

We offer procedures to place artificial skin or skin substitutes over your wound. This helps cover the wound and allows new, healthy tissue to grow.

Growth factor therapies promote healing, stimulate new cell growth, improve blood flow and reduce swelling. This may include ointments, special bandages or injections containing growth factors, particularly for non-healing or slow-healing wounds like diabetic ulcers.

Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to stimulate tissue growth, enhance blood flow and reduce swelling and pain, supporting the body’s natural healing process.

Vacuum-assisted closure, also called negative pressure wound therapy, uses a small machine to create suction. The suction helps keep the wound closed and drains any fluid from the wound.

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover wound care services. We can help verify your coverage.

Yes, our care team includes experienced nurses who will teach you how to care for your wounds at home. We work closely with you and your family to make sure you have all the resources you need, including in-home care when it’s appropriate.
