The wound care program at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital features inpatient, outpatient, and limb salvage services. CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center at Westover Hills is solely dedicated to the treatment and healing of wounds that are not healing at a rate that is considered normal or as expected by your treating Provider (typically two weeks). This is often referred to as a chronic wound (i.e. a wound that is not healing despite normal medical intervention).  Our outpatient wound care clinic is staffed with doctors, providers, and nurses that have been extensively trained in wound care.

Our providers’ only job is to treat and heal your wounds. Our outpatient clinic also has an extensive array of specialty treatments. Just as every patient is unique, so is every wound. At CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center at Westover Hills, we have the expertise to understand both the patient and the wound. We will develop a treatment plan specific to you and your wound. 

• You will undergo our initial wound evaluation process. This is where we gain an understanding of your current conditions, medications, and more, to form an individual treatment plan that works specifically for you and your wound.

• Healing your wound is our sole focus and most important goal. Just as every patient is unique, so is every wound. CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center at Westover Hills offers an extensive array of specialty treatments.

• We will maintain open communication with you every step of the way. You will be involved in your own healing process. If you were referred to our clinic by your doctor, we will work with their team to keep them informed of your progress at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center at Westover Hills.

We Are
Patient Focused

Our goal is to offer the highest level of wound care and overall patient service. Our team strives to improve the patient’s health, lifestyle, and quality of life. Several programs can relieve the patient’s pain and prevent recurrences of chronic wounds through patient education and proper care.

Advanced
Level of Care

CHRISTUS patients benefit from an advanced level of care provided by a staff trained and specializing in the latest products and treatment methods available for the treatment of chronic wounds.

We Practice
Individuality

We identify and treat each of the factors contributing to the chronic wound and coordinate our treatment efforts with your referring physician, if applicable. Referrals are not required for you to become a patient at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center at Westover Hills.

Comprehensive Approach

We employ a comprehensive approach to the evaluation of the chronic wound patient, and not simply to the wound itself. Therefore, it is important that the patient closely follows the physician’s instructions with respect to wound care, underlying health problems and lifestyle changes.

Wounds need oxygen to heal. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in adjunction to advanced wound care is a well-established treatment for hard-to-heal wounds that are a result of Diabetes, Chronic Refractory Osteomyelitis, and Radiation Injury.

At our Outpatient Wound Care Clinic, we use mono-place chambers to deliver your HBO treatment. The treatment involves pressurizing the chambers with 100% oxygen aiding the body by initiating a greater amount of oxygen to be transported to the blood cells and plasma. This in turn helps the body fight bacteria, stimulate growth factors and stem cells, therefore, aiding in the body’s process to heal.

Your doctor may suggest the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for any one of the following conditions:

Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Chronic Refractory Osteomyelitis
Soft Tissue Radiation Necrosis
Osteoradionecrosis
Compromised Skin Grafts or Flaps
