STATE-OF-THE-ART HYPERBARIC MEDICAL CARE OFFERED AT GOOD SAM

The Wound and Hyperbaric Institute at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center is home to the leading wound care specialists and treatment options in the region including a limb salvage program. Recently, the Institute was awarded accreditation by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS), the leading authority in hyperbaric medicine.
