Garnet Health’s Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Center Reaccredited

Garnet Health, which includes Garnet Health Medical Center, Garnet Health Medical Center – Catskills, Garnet Health Doctors, Garnet Health Urgent Care, Garnet Health Foundation and Garnet Health Foundation – Catskills, is pleased to announce that its Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Center has been reaccreditated by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS), which recognizes facilities that have met or exceeded the highest standards of care and patient safety.

Upholding accreditation is a testament to the exceptional level of patient care and operational safety provided by Garnet Health, which offers Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, in Middletown and Harris, as a treatment within its wound healing services. Participation in the accreditation program, which is voluntary, takes months of preparation and requires rigorous evaluation of operations, equipment, staff and training to ensure that the utmost quality of care is maintained within the undersea and hyperbaric medicine field.

More information about UHMS and its accreditation process can be found at www.uhms.org.

Garnet Health offers a variety of wound healing therapies such as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy which speeds the wound healing process by giving the body access to more oxygen than normal. Slow-healing and chronic wounds that benefit from this treatment include – but are not limited to – bone infections, traumatic injuries, and reopened surgical incisions. Alongside hyperbaric treatment, Garnet Health also provides surgical debridement and wound dressing to give patients every opportunity to heal.

Current and potential patients with slow-healing or chronic wounds can schedule an appointment by calling 845-333-7700 for the Middletown facility or 845-794-4620 for the Harris facility.
