Beebe Healthcare's Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine held a ribbon cutting and open house Aug. 17 with the Lewes Chamber of Commerce. The new location opened in March and they are celebrating the addition of two new hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been proven to increase oxygen concentration in the body, which helps fight bacteria, improve healing rates and avoid loss of limbs in patients with diabetes, vascular disorders or who have sustained serious trauma. It can effectively treat certain serious infections of soft tissue and bones, tissue and bone injured by radiation therapy and selected problem wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and compromised tissue grafts or flaps.
