Dr. Safia Ali, an American Board Certified Family Medicine Physician, Certified in Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine, and Dr. Han Pham Hulen, UHM/ABPM, have been appointed as the center’s Medical Directors.
The hospital’s Chief Executive Officer, Ben Harris, emphasized the center’s dedication to patient care.
“At HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital, we are dedicated to the care and improvement of human life. We saw not only an opportunity but a need for improved, specialized wound care in our community. The goal of our advanced program is to prevent or delay limb loss and provide our patients with their best quality of life.”
The center is close to the hospital campus at 7201 N University Drive. It offers a range of advanced wound care treatments, including negative pressure wound therapy, bio-engineered skin substitutes, mechanical and enzymatic debridement, total-contact casting, multi-layer compression therapy, and tissue infection management.
Additionally, the facility has two hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers, providing patients with 100% pure oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure.
