Advanced Wound Care
Mercy San Juan Medical Center is the only hospital system in the greater Sacramento area offering hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO). With more than 20 years of experience in both HBO and wound care, we emphasize the highest quality of care as we help patients with difficult wounds.

- Clostridal myositis and myonecrosis (gas gangrene)
- Crush injury, compartment syndrome and other acute traumatic ischemias

- Necrotizing soft tissue infections
- Refractory osteomyelitis
- Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis)
- Compromised skin grafts and flaps

Each patient receives an individualized plan of care developed by our highly-skilled nursing staff in conjunction with our doctors and therapists. Patients must be referred by a doctor.
