Ohio Valley Opens New Wound and Hyperbaric Center in Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, February 12, 2025 – Ohio Valley Surgical Hospital (OVSH) is excited to announce the grand opening of the Ohio Valley Wound & Hyperbaric Center (OVWHC) located at 100 West Main Street, Springfield, OH. 45502 on the second floor. Through our partnership with Healogics, this center will offer advanced wound care for people living with chronic, non-healing wounds. Healogics is the nation’s leading provider of advanced, chronic wound care services, and has a nationwide network of over 600 Wound Care Centers®.

It is estimated that chronic wounds affect 6.7 million people in the U.S. and that number continues to rise, fueled by an aging population and increasing rates of conditions such as diabetes, obesity and the late effects of radiation therapy. If left untreated chronic wounds can lead to diminished quality of life and possible amputation of the affected limb.

“Our hospital is committed to providing accessible, compassionate and high-quality healthcare to our community,” said Mendy Williams, MSN, Interim Chief Executive Officer at OVSH. “We are excited to offer this new service, which will help expand the kind of access to the care our patients need and deserve.”

OVWHC, together with Healogics, will offer an evidence-based, systematic approach to advanced wound care. A treatment plan is developed based on the patient’s needs and is carried out through the collaboration between the Center’s physicians, nurses and the referring provider. A patient’s individualized treatment plan may include specialized wound dressings, debridement, compression therapy, advanced cellular products and topical growth factors, edema management and/or non-invasive vascular assessment. Our Hyperbaric Chamber treatment will also be available for patients later this year.

"Opening the Wound Center has been a collaborative effort with the exceptional team at Ohio Valley, as well as, our Medical Director, Dr. Steven Conkel,” said OVWHC Program Director, Desiree Sullivan. “We are dedicated to providing the best care for wound healing within the community of Springfield and the surrounding areas. We are proud to offer another option for this much needed service, and we look forward to helping patients and their families."
