Planning your visit
Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Care are on the lower level of the Knisely South building at Aurora St. Luke's Medical Center. The hospital offers free covered parking in its attached parking structure. Everyone entering through the Main Entrance goes through an enhanced check-in process, and the hospital asks patients to arrive early for appointments. Aurora says most hyperbaric oxygen therapy is given on an outpatient basis, and patients can watch a movie, listen to music or rest during a session while the care team monitors them.
