Wound Care
It is estimated that 6.7 million people currently live with chronic wounds
and that number is expected to grow at more than two percent for the next
decade. The rising incidence is fueled by an aging population and increasing
rates of diseases and conditions such as diabetes, obesity and the late
effects of radiation therapy. Untreated chronic wounds can lead to diminished
quality of life and possibly amputation of the affected limb. When wounds
persist, The Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine Center at Jupiter Medical
Center provides the specialized approach required for healing.
Our Wound Care Center offers state-of-the-art personalized wound treatment
programs. Our team uses a multi-disciplinary model of care, including
infectious disease management, physical therapy, occupational therapy,
nutritional management, pain management, diabetes education and other
areas to address total patient health.

Diabetic Foot and Wound Care
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are wounds that develop on the foot of people

DFUs can be found anywhere on the foot, but often form on the toes, the
heel, or the ball of the foot.
