A wound that won’t heal can eventually turn from irritating to life-threatening. Fortunately, we’re here to help prevent those problems from getting worse. In addition to hyperbaric oxygen treatments, we utilize other procedures, such as debridement and infection management, to prevent serious complication. Don’t let a treatable injury turn into a major medical problem.

On August 4th, 2023, Nicole Curtis was driving to work in Loxahatchee one last time before going out on maternity leave. At 38 weeks pregnant Nicole was excited to become a mom and ready enjoy time off with her soon to be born, baby boy. Unfortunately, the unexpected happened. Nicole was T-boned and ejected from her car on the way to her last day of work. A bystander saw the accident and called 911.
On a day where you’d expect to be receiving hugs and well wishes from co-workers, Nicole was flown by the Trauma Hawk to St. Mary’s Medical Center.
