The Wound Care Center has now been expanded to two suites for a total of 3865 square feet. 

“We are really excited,” said Carlie Thomas, Director of Bayonet Point Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine. “We went from five small treatment rooms as well as the world’s smallest HBO treatment room to six large treatment rooms including an extra-large stretcher room and an actual HBO treatment area with changing rooms, lockers, and separate rest rooms. Now we have more space to accommodate our patients and our team in a more comfortable environment,” she added.
