Penn Wound Care Center

Each year, six million people in the United States seek treatment for an acute or chronic wound. Penn Hyperbaric Medicine works closely with the Penn Wound Care Center as part of an overall treatment plan that provides patients with the most advanced wound treatment and therapies available.

The Penn Center for Wound Healing and Reconstruction offers individualized care for acute and traumatic wounds. This approach is distinctly unique in comparison to the often fragmented care received when visiting multiple doctors at multiple locations.

At Penn, we offer more options for patients than any wound center in the Philadelphia region by providing a true multidisciplinary approach with medical and surgical specialists together under one roof. This involves identifying all factors involved in optimizing wound healing and formulating complete and individualized treatment plans for every patient.

Whether you are a current patient within the Penn Medicine health system or seeking a second opinion, our focus is on expediting the time it takes to get you examined, tested, diagnosed or confirmed, and started on an appropriate treatment plan. We will work collaboratively with your insurance companies to assist in getting you the care you need. Through the use of the most advanced surgical and microsurgical techniques available, and collaboration with our specialized medical professionals we can dramatically improve wound healing and minimize recovery time.
