The Grand View Wound Care Center
The Grand View Wound Care Center, located at the Grand View Outpatient Center at Sellersville, provides specialized treatment for chronic or non-healing wounds, which are defined as sores or wounds that have not gotten significantly better during traditional treatment.
These wounds can cause severe health risks and may result in life-threatening infections, possible amputation, and debilitating health problems. With the state-of-the-art treatment available at the Grand View Wound Care Center, however, people with slow-healing wounds no longer have to suffer.

Location
The Grand View Wound Care Center is located at the Grand View Hospital Outpatient Center at Sellersville, just off Route 309 in Sellersville.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The Grand View Wound Care Center is equipped with two hyperbaric oxygen chambers, which are used to treat some types of wounds. With this simple but effective treatment, you breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, which:
- Quickly and safely delivers high concentrations of oxygen to your bloodstream
- Helps increase your body's own natural wound-healing abilities
The chamber has clear sides through which you can see your surroundings, and is in a comfortable treatment room equipped with TV and videos.
