Methodist Wound Care Center

The Methodist Wound Care Center, a department of Methodist Hospital, features San Antonio’s largest hyperbaric chamber. Beginning in 1979, Methodist Hospital was the first civilian hospital to offer the technology at Methodist Plaza. This therapy has been proven to speed the healing process for hard-to-heal wounds, such as those caused by diabetes, poor circulation, burns and infections. The chambers are also used to treat victims of undersea diving accidents and carbon monoxide poisoning. The center was founded by Jefferson C. Davis, M.D., who pioneered research in hyperbaric medicine while serving in the U.S. Air Force. Dr. Davis is known in the medical community as the “father of hyberbaric medicine.”
