Planning your visit
Physician referrals are not required; patients or their physicians may call the center for a wound or hyperbaric evaluation.
The center is an outpatient, non-emergency facility in Suite 201 of the Heart and Lung Building at Candler Hospital. According to the center's FAQ, treatment length depends on the diagnosis, and most hyperbaric treatments take about 120 minutes. A 2024 St. Joseph's/Candler article describes a typical course of 30 to 40 sessions, given on weekdays over six to eight weeks; the patient lies on a bed that slides into a clear plastic chamber, breathes normally, and can sleep or watch television during the session. The team builds an individualized treatment plan and offers diabetic education, nutritional counseling, and wound management and prevention counseling for patients and caregivers.
